I love summer entertaining and keeping it simple. It’s all about cooking styles that don’t heat up the house and let me mingle with our guests. This no-bake tropical cream pie recipe is a great summer dessert option. The texture is smooth and creamy while the fruit adds a sweet touch. The bright colors make it feel extra summery too. Serve it at your next event and guests will love it so much that you won’t have any extras.

Everyone loves the crust and it’s made from crushed Nilla wafer cookies. I like purchasing fresh strawberries from my local farmer’s market. You’ll be amazed at how quickly you can throw this recipe together.
