Baked Alaska How could we have forgotten about this dreamy dessert! It's kind of genius when you think about it -- hot meringue, cold ice-cream, and cake -- all in one bite. Photo by Meredith. 2. Fresh Peach Trifle A trifle sounds outdated and complicated, but it's actually a cinch to make. Trifles are delicious in the summer too when there's an abundance of fresh fruit available.

Raspberry Icebox Cake There are many different versions of icebox cake, but this one with graham cracker crust, jello, fresh raspberries, and cream is what dreams are made of. Photo by abbaplez. 5. Bananas Foster You will not find an easier or quicker dessert than bananas foster. Rum and bananas are meant to be together, and this sweet needs to be on more dessert menus. Photo by Nickel. 6. Buttermilk Pie with Molasses A classic, creamy, buttermilk pie is something that needs to be tasted to be believed. Photo by Laguna Lala. 7. Fresh Pineapple Upside Down Cake It looks like something from a history book, but this sticky, pineapple cake is sweet and scrumptious. Photo by BALDOR1.
