A Swiss roll or roulade, which uses almond meal instead of flour to deliver a light and delicious dessert. Use pretty much whichever seasonal fruit you have. Summer berries would fit in beautifully, or peaches in cream. If you want to go a different way, try nutella, or then simply a fruit jam or preserve.
A marriage of flavours and textures, 2 desserts, one basic mousse. Add in some fresh seasonal fruit, top with macarons and you have … Strawberry & Kiwi Bavarian Cake with Razzle Dazzle Macarons, & Vanilla Bavarian Mousse with Strawberries & Basil
Delicious and comforting, hand pies with an apple, strawberry and basil filling. Great grub on the go, and nice for an informal dessert too. Serve with a drizzle of unsweetened cream.
A chocolate tart with a deeply luscious Nutella and chocolate filling, a vegetarian filling, which can be made ahead and is ADDICTIVE! This is my entry for The Secret Recipe Club this May.
What better way to welcome the dreaded HOT days of summer. This is a natural and sensational sorbet to beat the heat. It is fresh and exciting, and a wonderful way to use summers bounty. My mint patch is overflowing and I loved that I could add fresh mint to the strawberries.
