Fancy something sweet, but don't want to spend hours slaving over the oven in the already blistering heat? We've got you covered

There&rsquo;s one thing we&rsquo;d rather not do when we&rsquo;re hosting a summer soirée, and that&rsquo;s slave over the oven trying to rustle up a cake, pavlova or tart when we&rsquo;d much rather be outside making the most of the weather.To offer an alternative to this scorching scene, we&rsquo;ve compiled some of our favourite no-bake dessert recipes for the hottest days of summer so you can spend less time slaving over the oven - adding even more unnecessary heat to your already boiling kitchen - and more time out in the garden soaking up the sunshine.From fridge-set cheesecakes to Latin American-inspired fro-yos and decadent chocolate and caramel tarts, check out our favourite no-bake puds here, no oven required. You&rsquo;re welcome.<h2>Trifles</h2>Trifles are so easy and involve no ovens. Ideal. You can pretty much put in whatever you like, but our <a href="https://www.asda.com/good-living/recipe/summer-fruit-trifle" target="_blank">summer fruits trifle</a> combines layers of ready-made raspberry Swiss rolls, fresh raspberries and strawberries, creamy custard and whipped cream. You don't get much more British than that! Or go all tropical and make our individual <a href="https://www.asda.com/good-living/recipe/mango-banana-trifle" target="_blank">mango and banana trifles</a>, spiked with white rum for that ultimate tropical taste. Your guests will love tucking into these pretty puddings topped with toasted almonds.<img alt="summer-fruit-trifle__square" class="ci-image ci-square" src="https://ui3.assets-asda.com/dm/summer-fruit-trifle__square_GL?scl=1"><a href="https://www.asda.com/good-living/recipe/summer-fruit-trifle" target="_blank">Summer fruit trifle</a><h2>Pies and tarts</h2><a href="https://groceries.asda.com/shelf/desserts/cheesecakes-tarts/_/103507" target="_blank">Pies, tarts and flans</a> are a great no-bake option if you can get your hands on a pre-made pastry case. <a href="https://www.asda.com/good-living/recipe/caramel-chocolate-tart" target="_blank">Our caramel chocolate tart</a> is rich, decadent and ultra-luxe.
