Happy Memorial Day!
I really do love this time of year. Not only is it nice to get a long weekend here and there, but summer produce is becoming available (and my tomatoes and peppers are growing up slowly). And the fruit!
I love how summer moves from sweet strawberries to tart blueberries and blackberries to cool melons and juicy peaches. There’s always some new fruit to savor just as is or cooked in a tasty dessert.
Maybe you’re thinking about what fruit dessert you want to make today or for the next few months. Well, if that’s you, I’ve got a few ideas to get you started on your way!
6 Summer Fruit Desserts
Strawberry Biscuit Cobbler
This dessert is really good with any summer fruit: strawberries, other berries, peaches. Anything fruity is great under this pillowy biscuit topping.
Strawberry Lemon Ice Cream
This ice cream takes a little bit of extra effort, but it is so worth it. The strawberry is sweet and creamy, and the addition of lemon adds a nice tartness.
Gluten-Free Blueberry Crisp
Calling all gluten-freers (and those who like almonds), this is the perfect summer dessert to enjoy with friends and your favorite fresh blueberries.
Blackberry Galette
This French dessert is the perfect “crust envelope” (if you will) to wrap your favorite summer fruits in.
Peach Blueberry Buckle
The name is odd, but the taste of this almond-infused treat with blueberries and peaches is amazing! Trust me, after one bite, you will totally be on board.
Coconut Lime Bars
Grab some zesty limes, macadamia nuts and coconut to whip up these indulgent bars. They are the epitome of summer flavors!
