It’s easy to sing the praises of raspberries. The small fruit has a bright and vibrant flavor, one that makes any dessert taste that much better. Raspberries are also an easy smoothie addition or a delicious treat all on their own. So, what about the health side of things? It’s clear that raspberries are useful […]
Red Fruit Eton Mess
The Eton Mess is an old-school classic British dessert, which had lost its popularity and is now seeing a resurgence in pastry chefs who are looking back through history to learn from the old craftspeople of the time.
Simply, the eton mess is a delightful way to use the best of what’s around: excess egg whites for the meringue, delicious sweet cream for the whipped cream, and unctuous red summer fruits for the tart, bright fruit compote. Here I have made it easy on you and called to simply purchase meringue shells at your local supermarket or better yet, small locally-owned bakery.
Quick Peach and Raspberry Cobbler
Cobblers are such a great dessert, and depending on where you are from in the U.S. and whose grandmother’s special recipe you ate most as a kid, you may have very different ideas about what exactly a ‘cobbler’ is from someone else.
Generally, though, we can all agree it is a fruit-based dessert with some kind of biscuit or cake-like topping, baked till it’s bubbly and delicious, and served with a healthy heaping of love! Since I’m writing this in the summertime, I have this cobbler filling made up of the classic combo of yellow peach and raspberry. Find the ripest, most in season produce you can however, if peaches and raspberries are not an option for you!
Quick & Easy Chocolate Mousse with Cream and Raspberries
Whenever there is a hot summer day and I feel the smell of fresh raspberries, I think about this dessert. It is so easy to prepare and it is impossible not to love it. The chocolate mousse is soft and smooth and it is enriched by the extraordinary delicate flavor of the raspberries.
The classical mousse may also be considered a caloric bomb as it contains a lot of ingredients like egg yolks and milk. This alternative is a healthier one as it uses ricotta. The Italian specialty should be present in everybody’s diet and it can successfully replace other kind of cheese: it tastes delicious and it also has very few calories. The creamy texture makes it perfect for many desserts.
Quick Raw Raspberry Ice Cream
I believe there is nobody out there that doesn’t like ice cream. I could eat it in every single moment of my life, even if you wake me up in the middle of the night. It is by far my favorite dessert. Just when the sun rays become warmer in the spring, my kids come to me asking for ice cream.
You should know that there are plenty of ice cream recipes and the following is one of the most simple of all. You will only need four ingredients (bananas, raspberries, coconut oil and honey) and a food processor.
