21 No-Bake Pies for Hot Summer Days

There are some things that only a fat slice of pie can fix—and a hot summer's day in the South is definitely one of those things, as long as that pie is cool, creamy, and incredibly tasty. When it’s too hot outside to cook, these no-bake pies act like a cold sip of water in the desert, a deep dive into a swimming pool in the middle of July. From a frozen take on classic Key lime pie to a chilly rendition of peanut butter pie, these recipes are perfect for spring and summer in the South. You’ll find a few of these treats require blind baking a quick homemade pie crust, but each can be substituted with a storebought crust if turning on the oven just seems too tasking in the hot, muggy weather. (But the extra step is always more than worth it.) Try our cream pies, ice cream pies, icebox pies, and more—these no-bake pie recipes will have you covered on the hottest of spring and summer days.
