5 Delicious Desserts With Fruit You Need To Try

Dessert is the best part of any meal. Even after we’ve eaten so much that we don’t think we could take another bite, somehow, we always make room for dessert. With so many mouthwatering, yet fattening, options out there like cake and ice cream, it can be a refreshing change to try some delicious desserts with fruit. Not only will you get your much-needed serving of natural sugar from the fruit, it’s a lot healthier too and luckily there are so many choices! Here are 5 delicious desserts with fruit you need to try.

1. Fruit Pizza With Sugar Cookie Crust

Yes, pizza! Only it’s made with a mix of fresh fruit. The colors on this pizza are just so mesmerizing, it will make your mouth water instantly. While there are many recipes that come up on the internet for fruit pizzas, the most popular is the one with a sugar cookie crust. You can either buy premade sugar cookie dough or make it from scratch. Once the crust is baked, top it with a thick layer of cream cheese frosting. Finally, bring together your assortment of chopped fruit and arrange in any design you wish, following a rainbow pattern. This is a great dessert for summer get-togethers that is both eye-catching and delicious!


2. Strawberry Banana Popsicles

Another great dessert which uses fruit is strawberry banana popsicles. They are easy to make and will keep everyone in your house cool during the summer heatwaves. Using ripe bananas and strawberries, blend together with your choice of milk and some yogurt. If you feel it needs a little more sweetness, avoid using sugar and add some honey instead! Pour the mixture into popsicle molds and freeze for a refreshing dessert or a healthy treat any time!

3. Rose Apple Pie

Okay, we aren’t going to ignore typical desserts like pie. Even though the holidays are over, we crave a warm slice of apple pie every now and then and it does include fresh apples! To add a creative edge, try making a rose apple pie! This dessert will look so beautiful even before you take it out of the oven. The trick to making this deliciously gorgeous pie is the slice the apples extra thin and to layer them against each other going in a circular direction from the outside in. It will get denser as you reach the middle of the pie, resulting in this beautiful rose shape. Once it’s baked, uncovered, serve with a scoop of vanilla ice cream or sprinkle some powdered sugar over your masterpiece!


4. No Bake Nutella Cheesecake Cups

Nutella lovers will go crazy for this no-bake Nutella cheesecake with fresh strawberries. Make the crust out of either crushed graham crackers or mashed brownies and add this the bottom of the cups. Make a mixture of cream cheese and all the Nutella you desire and scoop on top of the crust. Place the cups in the fridge to chill and chop up some fresh strawberries. Bring out the cheesecake cups and dump a handful of the fruit on top and finally, add some whipped cream and garnish with chocolate shavings. This is one delicious dessert with fruit you’ll want to make every day!

5. Mango Mousse

Mango mousse is a delicious and easy dessert to make that will look incredibly fancy to your guests. You’ll need to blend a mango into a puree form and mix with a bit of unflavored gelatin and set aside. Use a blender to whip up some heavy cream and add sugar to your liking but not too sweet since the mango should be ripe and sweet enough. Once the whipped cream is ready,  pour in the puree slowly and keep mixing to get a fluffy texture. Pour the mousse into several cups and top with either chunks of mango or even blueberries for a delicious dessert you’ll be addicted to!
