Summer is the perfect time to indulge in light and refreshing desserts that showcase the season's bounty of fruits and flavors. Here are six delicious summer desserts to enjoy .
Berry Parfait: Layer fresh berries (such as strawberries, blueberries, raspberries, and blackberries) with Greek yogurt or whipped cream and granola in parfait glasses. Drizzle honey or maple syrup between the layers for added sweetness. Garnish with mint leaves or a sprinkle of cinnamon.
Peach Cobbler: Slice ripe peaches and toss them with a bit of sugar, lemon juice, and cinnamon. Spread the peaches in a baking dish and top with a biscuit-like dough made from flour, sugar, baking powder, butter, and milk. Bake until the topping is golden brown and crispy. Serve warm with a scoop of vanilla ice cream.
Lemon Sorbet: Make a simple syrup by boiling water and sugar until the sugar dissolves, then mix in freshly squeezed lemon juice and lemon zest. Chill the mixture thoroughly, then churn it in an ice cream maker until frozen. Serve the lemon sorbet in bowls or scoops for a refreshing and tangy summer treat.
Grilled Pineapple with Coconut Whipped Cream: Slice fresh pineapple into rounds and grill until caramelized and slightly charred. Whip coconut cream until fluffy and sweeten with a bit of powdered sugar. Serve the grilled pineapple with a dollop of coconut whipped cream and a sprinkle of toasted coconut flakes.
Mango Sticky Rice: Cook sticky rice (glutinous rice) according to package instructions and let it cool slightly. Serve the sticky rice with ripe mango slices and drizzle with coconut milk sweetened with a bit of sugar. Garnish with toasted sesame seeds or crushed peanuts for added texture.
Banana Pops: Freeze peeled bananas with popsicle sticks until hard. Sprinkle chopped almonds, shredded coconut, or sprinkles on frozen bananas dipped in dark chocolate. Place covered bananas on parchment-lined baking sheet and freeze until chocolate sets. Iced banana pops are a fun and healthy dessert.
