🍓 Fresh and Fruity Desserts to Serve Up This Summer
Blackberries, strawberries, gooseberries, cherries and plums – these delicious fruits, and many more, are ripe and ready to pick in summer.
They taste great on their own and can also be the star ingredient in many different desserts.
If entertaining over the next few months, try one of these fruity summertime creations:
🍦 Home-made ice cream
No need for a fancy gadget or bulging biceps to make ice cream at home.
Google ‘no churn ice cream’ and there are hundreds of recipes that don’t need an ice cream maker or hours of hand churning.
The secret is in the base: whipped double cream and condensed milk (not exactly health food).
Add fruity flavourings of choice – raspberry ripple is a classic.
Just make a raspberry coulis and swirl it through the base.
Or for fans of beach cocktails, Nigella’s no churn pina colada ice cream might be worth a try.
🍰 Pavlova
The Aussies know how to do summer entertaining.
And no barbecue down under is complete without a pav for pudding.
Meringue, cream and seasonal fruit come together for a favourite that hits the right balance of sweet and sharp.
Purists go for fresh passionfruit 🥭 (okay, technically not an emoji yet – so mango’s doing the job here).
Others pile on blueberries, strawberries and raspberries for a bit of colour.
🍡 Iced lollies
Frozen yoghurt iced lollies are a solid summer treat for kids – and anyone trying to keep things light.
Blend seasonal fruit with Greek vanilla yoghurt, pour into moulds and freeze.
Want to make them Instagram-worthy? Layer different fruit blends.
Start with banana-yoghurt 🍌, freeze, then follow up with mango 🥭, strawberry 🍓 and kiwi 🥝 – freezing each layer before adding the next.
For ideas, check out the rainbow fruit lollies on the BBC Good Food website.
