The Today Show and Yummy No-Bake Summer Desserts

This week on my regular appearance on the Today Show, co-anchors Matt Lauer and Meredith Vieira joined me to prepare recipes from the Beyond Ice Cream story in the August issue of Martha Stewart Living magazine. There are plenty of summer occasions that call for a great dessert, but who wants to heat up the kitchen by turning on the oven? This collection of recipes spend time in the fridge or on the stovetop, which certainly helps to keep things cooler! I hope you try these desserts - they’re delish!

: Look how beautiful and delicious this slice of chocolate, banana, and graham cracker icebox cake looks.

: Chopped milk chocolate is placed in a bowl for melting.

: For the very best flavor, use bananas that are really ripe.

: A mix of blueberries, raspberries, and strawberries simmer over medium heat.

: These are the ingredients for the mixed-berry slump.

: The no-bake cherry cheesecake topped with balsamic vinegar enticed sweet cherries

: It takes just seven ingredients to make a real family favorite. People can’t get enough of chocolate, banana, and graham cracker icebox cake.

: Here I am pouring a warm creme anglaise-like custard, through a sieve, over the chocolate to melt it.
