A healthy diet does not mean having to skip on dessert. You can actually enjoy dessert through fruit platters and other edible fruit arrangements. Whether it’s an ordinary day at your home or a day for partying, learning what kinds of fruit desserts to make can ensure that you’ll be able to eat delectable desserts as often as you want.

There are so many ways of transforming fruits into fun to eat desserts. Though fruits can be eaten just by simply rinsing,Quickly Make Fruit Desserts 101 Articles peeling off the skin, then popping into the mouth, other ingredients that mixes well with fruits can make your dessert extra special. If budget and time is your main concern, you need not worry now as there are pretty simple desserts to make which will be discussed in detail below:

One great secret to tasty and edible fruit arrangements and fruit platters is to mixing them with just a little amount of liqueur. As soon as the liqueur cooks off, there is sure to be a nice flavor that remains, and once mixed with your fruits, can be a hit in family gatherings, and even that romantic date with your sweetie. You may also substitute the alcohol with fruit juice in the event that you have no stock of liqueur in your house. Recommended fruits for mixing with some alcohol would be raspberries, cherries, oranges, etc. It is also up to you to add a bit of honey or caramelized sugar to increase the sweetness of the dessert.

Another recommendation when making fruit platters or edible fruit arrangements is to serve those with some yoghurt. Add the yoghurt on top of your fruits, then sprinkle with some chocolate bits, almond pieces, or some candy sprinkles. You may also opt to exchange the yoghurt with ice cream and still top it over the fruits, then put in a good amount of chocolate o strawberry syrup for that heavenly quality.

Remember that the fresher the fruits in your fruit platters, edible fruit arrangements, etc., the better. However, if you don’t have access to fresh fruits, you may just use dried fruits e.g. prunes, dried mangoes, and the likes, and just simmer those longer for them to really soften. Once they’re softer, proceed to adding the liqueur as softer fruits mean having the ability to absorb the flavor more, hence, giving you the sweet taste you’re craving for.

Fruits that are in season should also be considered when making edible fruit arrangements as well as fruit platters. Those fruits not only turn out to be really delicious, but will also help you stick to your budget. After all, buying fruits which are not in season is surely more expensive than those that are in season. During the autumn season, apples, pears, and plums are the most suitable fruits to use. In winter, fruits mixed with chestnut puree are highly suggested. During springtime, use cherries as well as peaches in your edible fruit arrangements or your fruit platters. Summer, of course, means using strawberries, raspberries, and other berries in your fruit desserts.
