But this weekend we all seem to be free, so I&#8217;ve decided to have everyone over. We can catch up about what&#8217;s going on in our lives, and, of course, snack on something sweet. Since it&#8217;s still so hot, no-bake desserts are on the menu.<\/p>\n<p>&#8220;This is a salad you can make your own with the fruit and nuts you add,&#8221; says <a href=\"https:\/\/www.justapinch.com\/me\/keatta\" rel=\"noopener\" target=\"_blank\">Edith James<\/a> (<a href=\"https:\/\/www.justapinch.com\/members\/browse\/list?search=Wilmington%2C+NC\" rel=\"noopener\" target=\"_blank\">Wilmington, NC<\/a>) of her <a href=\"https:\/\/www.justapinch.com\/recipes\/salad\/fruit-salad\/creamy-fruit-salad-2.html\" rel=\"noopener\" target=\"_blank\">Creamy Fruit Salad<\/a>. &#8220;Be creative!&#8221;<\/p>\n<p>While this may be too much for some people, I love the concept. It is almost like a rich and creamy dip made into a fruit salad. <\/p>\n<p>The mixture of fruit is delicious. But, there&#8217;s enough creamy sauce you could add more of your favorite types of fruit. The crunch from the walnuts balances out the creamy sauce and adds a touch of savory flavor.<\/p>\n<p>&#8220;This <a href=\"https:\/\/www.justapinch.com\/recipes\/dessert\/cake\/graham-cracker-pudding.html\" rel=\"noopener\" target=\"_blank\">Graham Cracker Pudding<\/a> is a quick and simple dessert my mama used to make when I was young, and I have continued sharing it with my kids,&#8221; reveals <a href=\"https:\/\/www.justapinch.com\/me\/gairka\" rel=\"noopener\" target=\"_blank\">Erica Freyer<\/a> (<a href=\"https:\/\/www.justapinch.com\/members\/browse\/list?search=Mocksville%2C+NC\" rel=\"noopener\" target=\"_blank\">Mocksville, NC<\/a>). <\/p>\n<p>With all its layers, this version of an eclair cake reminds me of a graham cracker pudding lasagna.<\/p>\n<p>The peanut butter was an added flavor I enjoyed and it also protects the crackers from becoming completely soft. A very thin layer of chocolate pudding on top is the perfect touch.<\/p>\n<p>&#8220;This pie only takes about 10 minutes to prepare,&#8221; explains <a href=\"https:\/\/www.justapinch.com\/me\/lisadlynn\" rel=\"noopener\" target=\"_blank\">Lisa Lynn<\/a> (<a href=\"https:\/\/www.justapinch.com\/members\/browse\/list?search=Atwater%2C+CA\" rel=\"noopener\" target=\"_blank\">Atwater, CA<\/a>). &#8220;I promise you will have the spoons out while you are pouring mousse into your crust!&#8221;<\/p>\n<p>Lisa&#8217;s right. It&#8217;s hard not to dig right into her <a href=\"https:\/\/www.justapinch.com\/recipes\/dessert\/pie\/heavenly-chocolate-mousse-pie.html\" rel=\"noopener\" target=\"_blank\">Heavenly Chocolate Mousse Pie<\/a>.<\/p>\n<p>Smooth and creamy, it has a crunchy Oreo crust and is very decadent. Full of chocolate goodness, no one will believe how simple this pie is to prepare.<\/p>\n<p><a href=\"https:\/\/www.justapinch.com\/recipes\/dessert\/dessert-pie\/raspberry-cream-cheese-pie.html\" rel=\"noopener\" target=\"_blank\">Brandy Woodbury<\/a> gets requests for her <a href=\"https:\/\/www.justapinch.com\/me\/nails777\" rel=\"noopener\" target=\"_blank\">Raspberry Cream Cheese Pie<\/a>. After one bite, I figured out why.<\/p>\n<p>The sweet and tart raspberry filling goes nicely with the tangy cream cheese filling. A store-bought graham cracker crust adds a little crunch to every bite.<\/p>\n<p>If your guests don&#8217;t like raspberry, no problem. Blueberry, strawberry, or cherry pie filling would also be tasty in this pie.<\/p>\n<p>&#8220;This is a fast, light, and easy dessert that is great for entertaining,&#8221; thinks <a href=\"https:\/\/www.justapinch.com\/me\/aresm16\" rel=\"noopener\" target=\"_blank\">Thomas Bohne<\/a> (<a href=\"https:\/\/www.justapinch.com\/members\/browse\/list?search=Joppa%2C+MD\" rel=\"noopener\" target=\"_blank\">Joppa, MD<\/a>). His <a href=\"https:\/\/www.justapinch.com\/recipes\/dessert\/fruit-dessert\/balsamic-strawberries-w-honey-vanilla-ricotta-2.html\" rel=\"noopener\" target=\"_blank\">Balsamic Strawberries W\/ Honey Vanilla Ricotta<\/a> sounds and looks super fancy, but it&#8217;s extremely easy to make.<\/p>\n<p>Balsamic vinegar and strawberries are a wonderful flavor combination. The balsamic is slightly sweet and tangy with a deep robust flavor. It enhances the natural sweetness of strawberries.<\/p>\n<p>Ricotta cheese is sweetened with honey and just a touch of vanilla. Fresh basil sprinkled on top just adds to the freshness of this simple summer dessert.<\/p>\n<p>Not entertaining this weekend? No worries! Keep these no-bake dessert recipes handy because they&#8217;ll be great for a Labor Day cookout too.
