STOP! Before you hit ‘Jump to Recipe’ check ‘Skip to the Good Bit‘ below. I may answer a query you have about this recipe.

The inspiration behind by Summertime Gluten Free Desserts round up is the British Summer. You know the kind. Where one minute you’re enjoying watching tennis on Centre Court at Wimbledon, and the next the heavens open. The summer where you light a match and it gets within 2m of you BBQ and it clouds over and the wind whips up – that kind.

With the exception of my Vegan Lemon Meringue Pie, all these Summertime Gluten Free Desserts an be made in advance and then your hands are free to rush around grabbing outdoor cushions and blankets to bring back into the house as the sky falls!

Of course, not all British summers are like this and you may well be reading this from tropical heats of the US or Australia (both being regular visitors to my website). With this in mind this round up was also aimed at being a collection of gluten free desserts that lend themselves to lazy-hazy days of summer. They’re delicious served with cream or ice cream and many are chilled or frozen so perfect for cooling down, kicking back and relaxing with a fully and happy tummy.

Zingy Lemon Summertime recipes

a collection of lemon inspired Summertime Gluten Free Desserts. Lemons are experts in the art of freshening the palette (so a great end to a protein heavy BBQ) and also have magical cooling qualities, not sure of the science, but it’s true.

Vegan and gluten free Lemon Meringue Pie
Lemon Meringue (GF, DF, Ve)
Easy Vegan Lemon Meringue Pie

For full transparency, in 2020 I made my first £25, and in 2022 I reached my next £25 (Amazon don’t transfer the money until you reach £25). Recently I got paid a whopping £27.10 for 2023.

So to date I have made £78.58 since I first started the scheme in 2017. It won’t pay the bills, that’s for sure but it does help to pay for ingredients or little treats to cheer me up!
