Back to school is in the air, but summer isnt over yet! Weve still got a few more weeks to enjoy the season, and especially some of our favorite desserts. But not all summer desserts have to be over-the-top decadent. In fact some of the best flavors of summer are light, and leave you with enough energy to run around or go for another swim. From thick and chocolaty frosties to blueberry cheesecake, were sharing 12 of our favorite lightened-up, healthier summer dessert recipes after the jump!
