I'm making a fruit salad for our Sunday BBQ - have been told that in no way can we have ice cream for dessert as we've had that twice in a row already!

What's your favourite summer fruit?

And your favourite summer dessert?

I like most summer fruits.

Fruit pizza and strawberry shortcake are 2 of my favorite summer desserts.

 I love to many summer fruits to pick just one. Plums, Peaches, Apricots, Cherries, Melons.

I think Strawberry shortcake is the bomb along with a blue berry pie or blue berry and peach cobbler. Cheesecake with frest fruit toppings....I could go on. LOL  ; )

I saw plums at the supermarket the other day. I was so tempted! But it's an imported fruit, and I'm trying to decrease buying foodstuff that is imported. Maybe next month!   ....yep understand on imported fruits....I have a plum tree so I might as well eat them and share with family and neighbors.

We should have invited you to our Sunday lunches - we've been having ice cream three week in a row!      Different icecreams? different ones are yummy.

Quoting kiweerose:

so many summer fruits come at once....love peaches right now. Plums earlier.

love ice cream.

You are so lucky to have a plum tree! It needs to go through a period of cold, doesn't it?

Well, we had the same ice cream two weeks in a row. I think we finished the last batch.

Which would mean that it can't grow here in the tropics since the weater isn't ever cold enough.

The only reason we had so much ice cream is that we have been having potluck Sunday lunches, and people kept bringing ice cream for dessert LOL!

One dessert especially nice in the summer...and VERY easy.  Take an already prepared graham cracker pie crust in the pan.  Take a large Cool Whip and mix in a small, still frozen can of lemonade.  Pour cool whip mixture into the pie crust and cool in the frig a couple of hours for the flavors to blend.  Cut and serve.  Not real fattening either.  Favorite summer fruit is probably fresh peaches.
