Most of us enjoy a sweet treat at least once in a while. When the weather is cold, we tend to crave decadent desserts whereas the hotter months call for something a bit lighter and more refreshing. These recipes often include light cakes as well as delicious fresh fruit. Whether you enjoy serving dessert every evening or you reserve your sweets for one night a week, here are some light options that are perfect for spring.
\nChiffon cake with strawberries is fruity, light, and the whipped cream filling finishes it off perfectly! The texture of this cake can easily be compared to that of angel food cake and it is wonderfully soft and airy. In fact, you can substitute the strawberries with other berries or fruit if you like. This recipe can be deliciously versatile!
\nRhubarb custard pie is a favourite in many households around the world. It has a sweet, smooth appeal and the custard adds just the right amount of creaminess. Being both creamy and light, this is always a winner in spring!
\nIf you want to really embrace the spring theme and how everything is coming back to life, then this choc-mint dessert design is perfect! All you need to do us prepare a few glass bowls that resemble giant shot glasses. In other words, they should be upright rather than flat. Make some choc-mint mousse and pour it into each glass until you reach the half-way point. Crumble some chocolate biscuits on top and place a sprig of mint in the middle. The mousse resembles your pot, the cookies are the soil and your sprig of mint is the seedling rising from the dirt! Remember to use clear glass or plastic bowls so that the visual effect of this design can be fully appreciated!
\nLemon and lime are always really refreshing. It makes sense that key lime pie and lemon meringue are both popular choices for spring and summer desserts. When serving these desserts, it’s important to make sure that they are properly chilled in order to prove truly refreshing.
\nTrifles are also really versatile and great for all weather. You can literally pick and choose your ingredients. If you find a recipe that uses a particular type of fruit that you don’t like, simply leave it out and substitute with a combination of the other fruits you’ve included. It’s important to create the right consistency but don’t shy away from getting creative as well!<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
