Summer pie season is a real thing in my kitchen. Once the weather turns hot, I start thinking about graham cracker crusts, cold fruit fillings, and pies that can sit in the fridge while I go do literally anything besides turn the oven on again!

This list has a little something for every pie mood, y’all. There are no-bake strawberry pies, frozen Oreo pies, old-fashioned custard pies, chocolate pies for the serious sweet tooth, and fruit-filled slices that taste mighty good after supper on the porch.

So come on in and pick your pie. Bring a fork, because “just a small slice” has a way of turning into “well, maybe I’ll even up that edge.”

Cool and Creamy No-Bake Pies

These are the pies I want when the kitchen is warm and the fridge is doing the heavy lifting. They’re creamy, chilled, and made for summer days when dessert needs to be ready before folks start asking what’s for supper.

Frozen Turtle Pie

This frozen turtle pie starts with a chocolate crust, then piles in caramel sauce, pecans, and creamy chocolate pudding. Chill it until firm, then add whipped cream and Magic Shell on top because, honestly, turtle pie is not here to be shy!

Frozen Oreo Pie

Oreos, whipped topping, milk, and white chocolate pudding mix turn into a cold, creamy pie that kids will spot from across the room. Freeze it when the weather is blazing, then slice it cold and watch those cookie crumbs do their job!

Strawberry Cream Pie

This no-bake strawberry cream pie is part cheesecake, part strawberry cloud, and all summer. Fresh strawberries, cream cheese, whipped topping, and a graham cracker crust make it cool and creamy, and that warm strawberry preserves drizzle over each slice is a mighty fine little finish!

Caramel Banana Pie

Fresh bananas and dulce de leche turn this into a Southern-style banoffee pie with only a few ingredients. It takes about five minutes to put together, which is dangerous information if you keep graham cracker crusts in the pantry!

Cherry Cream Cheese Pie

This pie layers a sweet cream cheese filling into a graham cracker crust, then tops it with cherry pie filling after a good chill. Keep the topping cold too, and spoon it on close to serving so those bright cherries stay pretty!

No-Bake Oreo Cheesecake Pie with Chocolate Graham Crust

This one is for the Oreo folks, and yes, they know who they are. A chocolate graham crust holds a creamy Oreo cheesecake filling, then more cookie crumbs go on top for that cold cookie-and-cream bite!

Strawberry Jello Pie

Strawberry gelatin, Cool Whip, fresh strawberries, and a graham cracker crust make this a fridge pie worth planning ahead for. The filling makes two pies, which feels like the kitchen handing you a little summer bonus!

Cherry Jello Pie

Cherry Jello and juicy cherries set up in a flaky pie crust for a cold slice with that old-school summer picnic feel. It needs a couple of hours to chill, so make it before supper and let the fridge handle the rest!

Fruity Summer Pies

When summer fruit is showing off, pie is the proper thing to do about it. These recipes bring strawberries, peaches, cherries, mandarin oranges, and pineapple into slices that feel right at home after a cookout or Sunday supper!

Fresh Strawberry Pie

Fresh strawberries get tucked into a glossy filling and poured into a baked pie shell. Chill it until set, then slice it cold with whipped cream, because strawberries deserve a little porch-sittin’ treatment!

Strawberry Ice Cream Pie

Strawberry ice cream and fresh strawberries settle into a graham cracker crust for a frozen pie that tastes like summer break. Keep it in the freezer until serving, then slice fast before everybody starts hovering!

Mandarin Orange Pie

Mandarin oranges, crushed pineapple, lemon juice, sweetened condensed milk, and whipped topping make this pie bright and cold from the freezer. It makes two graham cracker pies, which is good news if your people believe dessert should come with backup!

Buttermilk Peach Pie

Peach slices bake into a tangy buttermilk filling that sets up soft and custardy. Add whipped cream or vanilla ice cream on top, and you’ve got a peach pie that tastes like somebody knew exactly what summer needed!

Peaches and Cream Pie

Fresh peaches go into an unbaked pie shell, then a cream cheese filling with cinnamon and vanilla gets spread right over them. Once it bakes and cools, add whipped topping and try not to “straighten up” the edge with a fork!

Cracker Pie

Saltine crackers, fruit cocktail, and pecans sound like they wandered in from three different recipes, but they bake into a sweet, chewy old-fashioned pie. Swap in pineapple or berries if that’s what you have, because this pie is more flexible than it looks!

Old-Fashioned Southern Pies

These are the pies that feel like church suppers, family tables, and handwritten recipe cards. Some are baked, some are chilled, and all of them have that “I need another sliver” situation built right in!

Buttermilk Pie

Buttermilk pie gives you a creamy custard filling with a little tang and a simple Southern sweetness. Serve it cold with fresh berries and powdered sugar, and don’t be surprised when the plain-looking pie becomes the one folks keep talking about!

Lemon Meringue Pie

This lemon meringue pie uses vanilla wafers for the crust, sweetened condensed milk for the lemon filling, and a fluffy meringue on top. It’s bright, cold, and just dramatic enough to make the dessert table feel dressed up!

Orange Meringue Pie

Orange juice concentrate and sweetened condensed milk give this meringue pie a sunny citrus filling. It’s a fun little cousin to lemon meringue, and I do love a pie that shows up with its own personality!

Coconut Meringue Pie

This pie has a thick coconut custard filling, fluffy meringue, and toasted coconut sprinkled over the top. Chill it before slicing so that coconut filling sets up nice and sturdy, because we are not chasing pie across the plate today!

Peanut Butter Pie Made the Old-Fashioned Way

This Southern peanut butter pie layers vanilla custard, meringue, and a crumbly peanut butter topping. It takes a few steps, but every layer brings something different, and goodness knows peanut butter people will notice!

Water Pie Recipe from the Great Depression

This water pie is one of those recipes you read twice because surely that cannot be right. Water, sugar, flour, butter, vanilla, and a pie crust bake into a creamy old-fashioned slice that proves folks have always known how to make something sweet from almost nothing!

Impossible Lemon Pie

This lemon pie uses Bisquick to form its own crust while it bakes, which still feels like kitchen magic to me. The filling sets up creamy with a lemony bite, and all you have to do is blend, pour, and bake!

Lemon Chess Pie

Lemon chess pie brings a smooth, tangy filling to a flaky crust with that old-fashioned chess pie texture. It’s a good pick when you want a citrus pie without meringue, because sometimes the egg whites can sit this one out!

Super Simple Coconut Pie

This coconut pie mixes up fast and bakes into a sweet, golden slice with coconut all through the filling. It’s the one I’d make when the coconut craving hits but I’m not in the mood to wrestle with meringue!

Chocolate, Coffee, and Cookie Pies

Some summer pies are fruity and delicate. These are not those pies, bless them. This section is for chocolate lovers, coffee drinkers, Oreo fans, and anybody who believes dessert should show up with a little extra richness!

Triple Chocolate Brownie Pie

Brownie mix and chocolate chips bake right inside a pie crust, then vanilla ice cream and chocolate sauce take it over the top. It’s brownie night and pie night in the same pan, which feels like a smart use of everybody’s time!

Chocolate Chip Cheesecake

This pie has a graham cracker crust, cream cheese filling, chocolate chips, and chocolate ganache on top. Chill it before slicing so the filling settles, then serve it cold when the chocolate folks start circling!

Chocolate Chess Pie

Chocolate chess pie bakes cocoa, evaporated milk, butter, eggs, sugar, and vanilla into a fudgy custard-style filling. It tastes good chilled or at room temperature, which is nice because dessert should not need an attitude adjustment before serving!

Coffee Pie With Meringue

Instant coffee granules, sweetened condensed milk, eggs, butter, and vanilla make a creamy coffee filling under a fluffy meringue. Chill it well before serving, then hand slices to the coffee drinkers and prepare for opinions!

Mint Oreo Ice Cream Pie

Mint ice cream, Oreos, and a cookie crust make this frozen pie cold, creamy, and ready for the hottest day on the calendar. Pull it from the freezer right before serving, because melted ice cream pie waits for no one!

German Chocolate Pie

German chocolate pie brings chocolate filling and that coconut-pecan flavor folks know from the classic cake. It’s a rich slice, so naturally somebody will ask for “just a little piece” and then come back for another little piece!

And there you have it, a whole summer’s worth of pies without needing to pick just one. Go cold and creamy with a no-bake pie, lean fruity with strawberries or peaches, or bring out one of those old-fashioned Southern pies that makes everybody at the table start telling stories.

However you slice it, these summer pie recipes are made for warm days, family suppers, church gatherings, cookouts, and that sweet little moment when the plates are cleared and somebody says, “Is there pie?”
