Welcome to Sunday Reset, where we share how we\u2019re unwinding and what we have planned for the week ahead. This time, our newest baking resident, Terrence (@terrencebakes), shares what he\u2019s whipping up first in our Test Kitchen.<\/em><\/p>\n

Summer is officially here and as a baker, I go back and forth about using my oven during some of the hotter days.<\/p>\n

Luckily, during the summer, that means there\u2019s an opportunity to do a ton of great no-bake desserts that can still impress my family and friends. So instead of doing a tiered cake, maybe an icebox cake. Instead of making a burnt basque cheesecake, I\u2019m making a no-bake cheesecake with cookie crust.<\/p>\n

This was my first week at Food52, and I was tasked with creating some no-bake desserts in the Test Kitchen. Being from Atlanta, Georgia, I am no stranger to hot summer days. No-bake desserts are great when I feel like I need a no-contact order with my oven for a period of time, too.<\/p>\n

Here are some desserts to keep you cool during the summer heat and busy season of BBQs and outdoor parties:<\/p>\n

1. No-Churn Chocolate Chip Ice Cream<\/a>
\n<\/h3>\n

The key ingredient to helping this no-churn ice cream stay creamy? Olive oil.<\/p>\n

2. No-Bake Cheesecake With a Pretzel Crust<\/a>
\n<\/h3>\n

The pretzels give the base of the cheesecake a salty-sweet mix, and you can easily serve this with mixed berries or your favorite jam. I loved this recipe and swapped the base of the pretzels out with Biscoff cookies.<\/p>\n

3. Crispy Pretzel-Peanut Butter Bars<\/a>
\n<\/h3>\n

I\u2019m a fan of anything with peanut butter, and the refrigerator does most of the work for you.<\/p>\n

4. No-Bake Lime Cheesecake<\/a>
\n<\/h3>\n

5. Banana Pudding Icebox Cake<\/a>
\n<\/h3>\n

6. No-Bake Peanut Butter Bars With Oreo Crust<\/a>
\n<\/h3>\n

7. Dori Sanders\u2019 No-Churn Fresh Lemon Ice Cream<\/a>
\n<\/h3>\n

I took our classic tiramisu and made it perfect for the summer using a mixed berry compote, lemon-and-St. Germain-dipped lady fingers, and dusted with freeze-dried strawberries. Check out the recipe here<\/a> and the video on our Instagram here<\/a>.<\/p>\n
