Cool Summer dessert recipes for dad


Cool Dessert - Peach & Strawberry Parfait, see the how-to video in the link below!

This weekend's holiday of Father's Day marks the unofficial start to summer which is kind of perfect since the official first day of summer is the following day, June 21st, 2010. But try to tell that to Central Floridians dealing with record high temperatures for weeks on end already. After our coldest winter, summer could not be held back so she arrived early and with a vengeance. We have months still of being belted with sunshine, so it's time to rally and not let the heat beat us! Let's beat the heat with desserts recipes designed for a sweet and cooling effect as well as some hot off the grill and possibly a few drunken dishes just for dad.
