    No-Bake Summer Desserts the Whole Family Will Love

If your summers are anything like ours here in Alabama, you likely want to avoid turning on your oven at all costs! While I love summertime desserts like berry cobblers and pies, I often can't bring myself to make them on a hot summer day. These three desserts come together with a secret ingredient -condensed milk- and are just as crave-worthy as your favorite baked sweets. I hope you and your family enjoy them as much as we do!
