RHUBARB GALETTE
Here at StoneGable, we have a summer’s supply of rhubarb in our garden. And I make this galette often because it is so easy to whip up! Use the pate brisee (pie dough) recipe in this post or use one from the refrigerator section of your local grocers. Just make this galette!
You can also substitute the summer fruit of your choice!
The perfect summer dessert!

STRAWBERRY TART
We love strawberries!!! I’m are always thinking of ways to use them in desserts and salads and jam and desserts again! Lancaster County is known for our Strawberry Pies so I just had to share the recipe!

LEMONADE ICEBOX CAKE
I’m a huge fan of icebox cakes. My mother-in-law serves me a chocolate icebox cake when I was dating my husband many decades ago. And it was love at first bite! The dessert, not Bobby! LOL! Well, maybe Bobby too!
Ann created a lemonade version of these oldie but goodie summer refrigerator cakes. Speaking of love, I love all her recipes and photographs.

BERRY FRUIT CRISP IN A JAR
Put anything in a mason jar and it instantly elevates the contents! Things taste extra good!
Make the elements of this recipe and have them on hand when you have a sweet tooth or have company. I make the crisp and the fruit ahead and have it ready!
I also use the crumbly crisp on other things like yogurt! This is a keeper!
If you don’t have mason jars it tastes almost as good in a regular dish.

COOKIE ICE CREAM SANDWICHES
This dessert isn’t so much a recipe as it is a formula! I’ve made ice cream cookies for decades. Make a bunch and freeze them for a super delicious summer dessert!
Remember to work some yummy add-ins into your ice cream!
This was on the the first recipes posts I wrote, almost 10 years ago!

You are never too old to eat a popsicle! NEVER! And if they are homemade who can resist them, right?
