I love summer and I love celebrating this time of year with my friends and family. Today I’m sharing my favorite summer sweet treat with sponsor EDWARDS® Desserts.
Can you feel the warmth of summer yet?
We totally can. I think it helps that we live in Southern California and we seem to almost be in a perpetual summer of sorts with all the glorious sunshine we get, but this year was a bit different. This year it rained, like really rained. The rain lasted throughout the spring and was even really heavy at times. Of course, we needed the rain and we all secretly love it… but I think it also is making this summer even sweeter!
This past weekend we dusted off our patio furniture because as soon as the kids finish up school for the year, the kids’ parents celebrate! We all gather outside and enjoy a BBQ, or cookout for my East Coast friends. I always offer to bring the sweets and flowers always seem to jump into my shopping cart too!
As much as I love baking, I also know my limitations, so when I want to bring something truly decadent, I bring an EDWARDS®Dessert or two!
EDWARDS® Desserts are convenient to buy, but the real reason they are my go-to dessert are the velvety layers, crushed cookie crust, and that they are as easy as one-two-thaw. This patisserie-decadence is something I would never be able to make at home and I love that I can still serve such decadence even when it isn’t something that I can make myself.
Everyone knows that I bring only the best to parties and that I also only serve the best when I’m entertaining at home. I have set a high bar which I am so proud of. I want to wow everyone and I love knowing that everyone will love the sweets I’m serving!
For this “welcome summer” party I decided to kick the season off with Key Lime Pie! Nothing, and I mean nothing, is more of a summer sweet than that. It can be paired with every meal and is perfect for every party, celebration, and get together from casual to fancy!
The grins from everyone when they see how beautiful the dessert looks is pretty awesome too… but nothing compares to enjoying it!
I’ve taken to keeping a few in my freezer so that I’m always on- always ready to wow with the sweets I bring or serve! Other great summer dessert choices are EDWARDS® Hershey’s* Chocolate Crème Pie, Turtle, Key Lime, Lemon Meringue, and S’mores desserts! I plan to work my way through them all this summer!
Pie without having to actually make it? Great idea by me, love this. It hasn’t been super warm yet here, lots of dreary days but hoping we get warmth to enjoy the outdoors soon!
Summer always makes me want really cold smoothies! Seriously I crave them all day! I love summery fruits and veggies!
Mmmm, pie! We are big on pie around here. Especially key lime pie 🙂
I LOVE Edwards pies, Heather! They are just luscious, and the key lime is absolutely perfect for summer. The photos about drove me to the store 🙂
There really is something about summer isn’t there, I love how uplifted it makes me feel and this sounds like the perfect dessert to try!
Your pictures make that pie so tempting! Thanks for the info, now to go out and get something to eat!
We kick our summer off with a barbecue as soon as the weather permits. Our next one is going to have these pies!
My dad used to love Edwards Pies. Whenever we had a family meal, we would have one for dessert.
Those pies are awesome! I actually have about three pies stored away right now for our next special occasion.
I’m definitely happy that I’ll be able to enjoy the summer soon. Those Edwards desserts are so good. I need to pick another one up.
We kicked it off with some great cheeseburgers, but we definitely didn’t have nearly as yummy a dessert. That pie looks so good.
I couldn’t have picked a better title! That cheesecake look delicious
We’ve had the chocolate creme version TOO MANY TIMES! It’s so good, but so bad for you. Now I want another…
Yum that looks delicious! Would love to pick one up and enjoy as a family. We cant wait to celebrate summer!
Who doesn’t want a good key lime pie! I think this is the perfect dessert for the summer. I always enjoy citrus flavors when the weather is warm.
Summer time is my favorite time. I love Edwards desserts! Such amazing flavor.
Edward’s Desserts are awesome. Now I am craving one. Thanks a lot! Lol.
I love pie and that looks like a yummy one! I’ll have to look for it the next time I’m at the store.
I love summer and I love Key Lime pie… now you have me craving it! Hmm…. wonder if I could get my hubby to get me some.
Oh, I should be kicking off the summer with a serious weight loss plan. Instead, I’m going to indulge in this delicious key lime pie!
Edwards are the best pies ever made! They really are so refreshing in the summertime!
The pie is so tempting that I have to go out and get something similar.
I love summer too, specially because we live in london and here is so short, that’s why I do as much I can do outside specially with my family.I can’t wait for this one loved your post and your pictures so beautiful
What beautiful photos. I do not like cheesecake though.
Summertime is my favorite too! These pies look delicious!
