Trifle – a good trifle is always an excellent choice, especially during the summer months when you can use the variety of fresh fruits available to you. Popular fruits to include are peaches, strawberries, raspberries and blackberries. Why not try a twist on these delights and take a look at this recipe for a strawberry and elderflower trifle. What flavours speak of summer more than these two?
Your basic trifle consists of fruit placed in jelly and then ladyfingers soaked in the flavoured jelly or juice of your choice, topped with a beautiful custard ( again why not experiment with a strawberry flavoured custard rather than plain vanilla) and then final covered with a layer of cream and for a true throwback to your childhood why not add a few hundreds and thousands on the top!
Meringues – Any meringue recipe goes incredibly well with great company and the warm summer evenings. Traditionally you will find meringues included with raspberries ina pavlova style dessert and with strawberries in an eton mess. But the sky really is the limit when it comes to you fruit choices and why not take the opportunity to create an eton mess with the tropical fruits of your choice. This was go well with a nice glass of cool Pimms on a cool summer evening.
Cheesecake – again another dessert that you can make whilst letting your personality shine through. From traditional strawberry through to lemon and even gin and tonic flavoured cheesecakes you can find a cheesecake to suit any occasion.
Fruit salad – if you are short on time or inspiration a good bowl of summer fruit salad combined with some cream or ice cream is always a hit. You can add any fruit you like to a fruit salad and your dinner guests will enjoy the refreshing tastes on a hot summer evening.
Anyone of theses desserts will work well at a summer gathering so get whipping up something incredible in that beautiful kitchen of yours.
