These summertime treats are perfect for the busy working mom.

The weather is warming up and summer barbecue season is here, which means you will almost certainly be tasked with making some sort of dessert dish for a party. Sure, we would all love to bake some over-the-top masterpiece, but most working parents just don't have the time for it. This summer, go for "no-bake" desserts that don't require any time in the oven. They are perfect for when you're pressed for time and everyone will love them just the same.

Here are some of our favorites:
