Desserts

Rather than packing up glasses and wine, these delicious and delicate white-sangria jellies are a spill-proof and refreshing alternative for picnics. You can also change the recipe up a bit by using different types of fruit that you have on hand. Note: there are certain fresh fruits that should not be used in gelatin recipes: fresh figs, guavas, kiwis, mangoes, melons, papayas, peaches and pineapple because they all contain enzymes that prevent gelatin from setting properly. To use these fresh fruits (except kiwi), simply peel and cut your fruit and simmer them in water until soft, 5 to 10 min. This may help deactivate the enzymes making them usable in gelatin applications.

Instructions

This is certainly a one-size fits all dessert: with ingredients like maple syrup, fresh whipped cream and strawberries, it's a hard dessert not to like.

Airy, light and virtually guilt-free, a vanilla-fragranced cake is a perfectly dreamy summer dessert.

Whip up this Mediterranean frozen-fruit dessert, like a sorbet, only with a more crystalline texture. Adapt it to strawberry-only, kiwi or cantaloupe, too!
