Hot Weather Desserts

Just because it’s too darned hot to feel hungry for much more than a salad doesn’t mean you have to forgo the sweet pleasures of dessert. Homemade frozen treats are just the ticket.

Here are a few ice-cold indulgences that’ll satisfy any craving or occasion.

“Semifreddo” means partially frozen—and that makes this the perfect treat for a hot-weather day.
