1. Rice Pudding with Apricots and Pistachios
When it’s too hot to cook, you’ll love having this recipe on hand that comes together with just a little prep. The rice pudding consists of egg yolks, milk, vanilla and arborio rice. You only need to add a small amount of sugar, making it a light and not overly sweet dessert. Top with apricots that have been gently cooked in a light syrup, followed by a drizzle of olive oil for added richness.

5. Strawberry-Raspberry Cobbler
Like fruit pudding cakes and crumbles, cobbler is one of those desserts that’s best enjoyed while still warm with a big scoop of vanilla ice cream. On top of a strawberry-raspberry compote, add pieces of dough cut with a cookie cutter. Made with flour, butter and yogurt, it has a soft and crumbly, scone-like texture. It’s the perfect dessert to make with your fresh summer berries.
