12 No-Bake Pies You’ll Crave on a Hot Summer Day
A slice is a surefire way to help you beat the heat.
Don’t get us wrong: A steaming slice of freshly baked pie is one of the coziest ways to end the day. But during the summertime, fetching a piping-hot pie from of the oven probably doesn’t sound too appealing. When it’s way too hot to turn on the oven, a no-bake pie is the perfect alternative that’ll satisfy your sweet tooth without causing you to break a sweat. It’s the kind of dessert that Ree Drummond reaches for whenever summer rolls around. “If there’s one thing I love when the weather gets hot, it’s a no-bake dessert,” she says.
Not only are no-bake pies cooling, creamy, and super refreshing, but they’re also incredibly easy to whip up: You won’t have to roll out any dough, perfect a lattice crust design, or wait for the oven to preheat. Instead, you can simply grab a pre-baked crust or mix one up with cookies or crackers, add a fluffy filling, and pop it in the fridge for a few hours.
Whether you’re craving something rich and chocolatey or fresh and fruity, there’s a no-bake pie on this list for every taste bud. Ree’s famous chocolate pie is always a crowd pleaser, but the Oreo pie and triple chocolate sundae pie are just as indulgent. If you’re a fan of fruit desserts, the pies packed with juicy mango, zesty lime, and bright lemon flavors, respectively, will get the job done. For a bite of nostalgia, Ree’s peanut butter pie and million dollar pie will have you reminiscing on the glory days. Whatever the occasion (or temperature outside), these no-bake pies are so delicious and easy to make—and there’s no oven required!
