If you want to serve a light dessert with fruit to complete a fulfilling meal, you will love these easy ideas below.<\/p>\n<h2 class=\"western\">Frozen yogurt<\/h2>\n<p>Ice cream is a popular summer dessert. Of course, not everyone is a fan of ice cream. A scrumptious alternative is frozen yogurt. You can take your pick from your favourite fruits and follow your favourite frozen yogurt recipe. You can make your frozen yogurt days in advance so you can be sure it&#8217;s ready when hosting your next dinner.<\/p>\n<h2 class=\"western\">Fruit cobbler<\/h2>\n<p>When you think of a cobbler, you might imagine that this light dessert needs to be served hot. This is not necessarily the case. Once baked, you can allow the dish to cool to room temperature before serving. You can also top with ice cream if desired. Cobblers can be made with a variety of fresh or canned fruit according to your preferences.<\/p>\n<h2 class=\"western\">Angel food cake<\/h2>\n<p>If you want to serve cake, angel food cake will be perfect for warmer weather. This light dessert calls for fresh fruit or berries which will not only add flavour, but colour too.<\/p>\n<h2 class=\"western\">Sorbet<\/h2>\n<p>Like ice cream, sorbet is refreshing on a hot day. Of course, the main difference is that this light dessert is not quite as creamy. You can make your own using your favourite fruit or even combine fruits to create a delicious blend.<\/p>\n<h2 class=\"western\">Fruit salad<\/h2>\n<p>Another simple yet delicious light dessert idea is fruit salad. Combine your chopped fruit in a bowl and toss around gently. You can dress lightly with a splash of fresh orange juice. In addition, be careful when adding apple and pear as they will oxidize if you do not toss them in some lemon juice first. Bananas can be added when serving since they too will oxidize and they are very soft.<\/p>\n<p>These are just a few wonderful light dessert ideas that you can try throughout the warmer months of the year. When you have a selection of fruit and you&#8217;re not sure how to make the most of it all, one of these desserts might be just what you need!<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>As
