Make a Rage of Delicious Desserts with Berries

The word 'dessert' means a lot of different things to different people, and most of these feelings are pleasant and happy. The sugary and textured feel of these food items are a treat for the tongue and taste buds. While chocolate and vanilla usually form the basis of most after meal sweet meats, fruits, spices and syrups are also a major part of them. Here are a few items that will help you create the finest and tastiest sweet dishes for the upcoming holiday season using berries. And the best part is that most of these may be consumed by strict vegetarians too.

Muffins, Brownies and Cakes

Essentially made from similar dough, these are best made soft with a pinch of baking soda. When it comes to adding strawberries or blueberries to these items, it is always a bonus as these fruits go extremely well with chocolate, vanilla or any other flavor. The conventional way is to use a bit of berry essence and bake these food items with the fruit itself. However, you may experiment and sweeten the berries beforehand, and put on the top as garnish.

Souffles, Mousse, Trifle and Ice Creams

The frozen goodness of these desserts is just enhanced by adding a handful of raspberries or blackberries to it. In fact, they offer an added flavor to the sweets. You may opt for a tangy taste or a sweet one by boiling these fruits with a bit of sugar water. You may even use a mix of both for the sweet and sour taste which may bring a unique burst of flavors in the mouth. The benefits of strawberries and other fruits is that they may be used full or cut into pieces to match these food items.

Tarts, Pancakes, Cobblers, Pies

Strawberries and raspberries are known to be versatile, whether you use it for main course or salads, thus, when it comes to creating the warm, homemade pancakes for breakfast or bite sized tarts for a party, these may be used anywhere.

Sorbets and Iced Pops

Nothing better than icy treats during the chilly winters! Use the sour blackberries to create the finest of ice candies and scoops of sorbets during the party time. You may make these in advance and store them in the freezer so there is hardly any last minute work to be done.
