What ingredients are in Springtime Dessert Recipes?
There are a variety of featured ingredients you can use to make a springtime dessert recipe. Below is a list of ingredients that are great add-ons to make your desserts more springtimeish.
- Berries: Fruits like strawberries, blueberries, raspberries, and blackberries go well in any dessert recipe, from tarts to fruit salads.
- Citrus: Lemons, limes, and oranges work well for cakes, tarts, and cheesecakes. Grapefruits and tangerines also work well for a little bit more tangy sweetness.
- Cherries work well in pies and have a slight tartness.
- Pineapples (canned especially) work well in upside-down cakes, cheesecakes, and tarts.
Now that you can see the different ingredients that primarily work well in the springtime for desserts, I shared my favorite go-to desserts for a quick weekend treat or a family gathering.
