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.
