Summer is certainly the time of year for fruit, when it's ripe and flavorful. Here's my list of trusted recipes to make from the best of the season's produce.
🌟 Best Summer Fruit Dessert Recipes 🌟
1. Gooseberry Fool
I love a fruit fool in summer. In this recipe, gooseberry puree is mixed into an easy custard before being folded into whipped cream. Whilst there might be a few stages, the result is well worth it! For best results, serve with buttery shortbread to scoop it up.
2. Strawberry Frozen Yogurt
Get the most out of the summer strawberries with an easy frozen yogurt that is perfectly balanced in sweetness. It's the most refreshing thing ever.
3. Mini Baked Lemon Sponge Pudding
This lemon summer dessert is so delicious, Tart yet sweet, soft, and moist with a melting center. You can make it ahead of time, too. Top with some whipped cream and a few raspberries, and it looks as good as it tastes.
4. Limoncello Creme Brulee
Live the dolce vita with a twist on a classic. Limoncello creme brulee has a lemony custard spiked with Limoncello, topped with a sweet layer of caramelized sugar. Every bite has all the taste and texture you could want.
5. Key Lime Pie Ice Cream Bars
Here's a fun twist on a key lime pie! Creamy no-churn ice cream bars made with key limes and sweetened condensed milk are dipped into pillowy Italian meringue and torched to perfection.
6. Rhubarb Pistachio Pavlova
A towering stack of pistachio meringue layered with whipped cream and soft, sweet yet tangy stewed rhubarb. It's the perfect spring or summer fruit dessert recipe and the mix of textures is so tasty.
7. Mango Passionfruit Eton Mess
Here's a tropical fruit dessert to make this summer! Mango and passionfruit are intense flavors and they taste amazing with meringue and whipped cream.
8. Lemon Ice Cream in a Lemon Shell (no churn)
Dainty little lemon boats full of creamy, no-churn lemon ice cream are the ultimate summer fruit dessert indulgence. They can almost double as a palate cleanser; they are so refreshing.
9. Elderflower Jelly with Prosecco and Raspberry
Wild elderflowers are such a summery flavor, and it works wonderfully with sparkling wine and raspberries in this elegant summer fruit dessert. It's like jelly, but for grown ups!
10. Peaches and Cream Ice Cream
Sweet and juicy peaches are the ultimate summer fruit flavor, and they work wonderfully blended into a puree and swirled through creamy ice cream.
11. Caramelised Fig and Cardamom Pavlova
Sweet and intense figs are perfectly offset by aromatic cardamom in this summer fruit pavlova recipe. The intense flavor of the spice works so well in sweet brown sugar meringue and whipped cream topping, and the sticky caramelized figs on top are so tasty it's insane.
12. White Chocolate Raspberry Ice Cream Bars
Relive Barbiecore summer with this pretty pink ice cream! The sweet raspberry puree is folded into whipped cream and sweetened condensed milk to take the effort out of homemade ice cream bars. Dip them into melted white chocolate and dunk into flaked almonds and you have one the best summer fruit desserts around.
13. Eton Mess
Here's a British summer fruit classic dessert. Crumbled meringue with fresh whipped cream and strawberries. It doesn't get much simpler, or much tastier than this!
14. Poached Pears in Rose
I make this dessert for my private chef clients in France all the time, and it always goes down well. Serve with some cream, or custard, and perhaps a few crumbled nuts.
15. Gooseberry Ice Cream
If you have an ice cream machine, you have to make ice cream this summer. Whipping up an easy custard and mixing it with cream and fruit puree will give you the most indulgent dessert. I love gooseberries as they are sweet but also tart, so you're never overwhelmed by sugar.
16. Fig and Cardamom Macarons
Whilst making homemade macarons might seem like a bit of a challenge, it is well worth the effort! In this recipe, we add ground cardamom to the macaron shells so they perfectly compliment the sweet and sticky fig filling.
17. Easy Baked Cherry Cheesecake
Use ripe summer cherries to their best effect in this easy cheesecake! It's certain to please a crowd.
18. Panna Cotta With Roasted Peaches And Nectarines
Creamy yet light vanilla yogurt panna cotta is beyond delicious with balsamic roasted stone fruit. I love how it's poured into the glass on a slant and allowed to set, which gives it a really refined look. But it's actually super easy to create!
19. Strawberry Galette
A French galette made with ripe summer strawberries is one of those easy summer fruit desserts everyone should have in their back pocket. An easy pastry is folded over the fruit and baked until it's crisp and bubbling. It's delicious served topped with a scoop of vanilla ice cream and I also love to add a drizzle of balsamic glaze, too.
20. Nectarine Frangipane Tart
A deliciously moist frangipane baked in a tart crust with juicy nectarines is the perfect summer fruit dessert recipe to serve after an al fresco lunch. Make it in advance and top each slice with a dusting of powdered sugar and a quenelle of whipped mascarpone.
21. Strawberry Shortcake Icebox Cake
An icebox cake is a summer classic. Make this fruity version with layered vanilla cream, strawberry sauce, and sweet, crunchy crackers. You don't need to turn the oven on, it's an assembly job only! But it's wonderfully refreshing and full of summer vibes.
22. Fruit Salad Recipe {with Honey Lime Dressing}
Jazz up a simple fruit salad with a zesty dressing that brings it all together. Fruit salads are versatile, and you can serve them with a bowl of yogurt, cream, or ice cream. Mix and match whichever summer fruits you have that are ripe and ready, and enjoy.
23. Lemon Blueberry Cheesecake Bars
Plump blueberries get a decadent twist in this summer fruit dessert recipe. Cheesecake bars are always useful as they are portable, so if you need to find a fruity dessert recipe to take to a party, this could be one for you.
24. Brown Sugar Grilled Pineapple Sundaes
Sticky, sweet grilled pineapple packs in the summer flavors and tastes so delicious piled into a sundae. Grilling pineapple really brings out the flavor as it caramelizes the sugars, making it even more decadent.
25. Summer Fruit and Honey Whipped Ricotta Crostata
Use store-bought phyllo pastry (filo pastry) to make this dessert as easy as can be. Crisp, light layers of the crunchy baked pastry are topped with whipped ricotta and honey filling and juicy fresh fruit. You can swap out the fruit for whatever you have or whatever looks good at the market!
