We’ve been entertaining like crazy and really enjoying our pool this year. A casual dessert party is an easy, affordable way to entertain in the summer months! A few nights ago, our friends joined us for dessert.

This time we served an Ice Cream Sundae Bar with Frozen Coconut S’mores.

Get the party started.

Create a summery space poolside. Bring a side table over to a convenient area.

If you don’t have a small tablecloth, use a blanket! :)

Prescoop the ice cream in individual servings, placing the dishes in a large bowl of ice.

My personal favorite? Vanilla ice cream with hot fudge and Blue Diamond Blueberry Almonds.

Frozen Coconut S’mores.

Serve a light dessert on the side. These Frozen Coconut S’mores are easy to make ahead of time.

Dip the marshmallow in chocolate, roll in graham cracker crumbs, then your favorite crushed almonds. Our family best-loved almond flavor is the Toasted Coconut.

Pull out of the freezer and serve frozen, or defrost for one hour before serving.

Turn on the summer “jams.”

Turn on a fun summer (jams) playlist and enjoy the warm evening with your family and friends!

We have an “entertaining upbeat” playlist for when guests arrive and mingle, a more upbeat selection of music with some variety for people to enjoy.

The most important thing is to play music that you enjoy, and you make it your own. It’s your home, backyard, group of people that you are bringing together. Make it lively and fun by the poolside, and as always, don’t sweat the small stuff. For example, put your energy into the people and having fun, and less worry about the little things (like spills on the tablecloth, getting thrown into the pool, etc:) :)

Don’t sweat the small stuff.

Fun music, a little ice cream treat in the evening, with a dip in the pool, and great people.

This is what summer is all about!

How to you set the tone for summertime get-togethers?
