Our fabulous spring desserts to celebrate the sunny days

Spring is an in-between time, a happy medium between winter and summer. We therefore take an example from this season to create expertly balanced desserts.

Freshness and subtlety

Let's start by abandoning hot spices in favor of fresh flowers and herbs. After spending several months indulging in very comforting cinnamon and chai latte cakes, it's time for refreshing flavors. Basil, mint, rose, jasmine, so many herbaceous and floral notes that bring subtlety to desserts. In addition, they go particularly well with seasonal fruits.
As for how to use them, several options are available to you. You can use the leaves and petals to decorate and infuse them into preparations; or choose hydrosols, such as orange blossom and rose water.
Certain essential oils, such as verbena or grapefruit essential oil, can also be used in cooking. However, be sure to use them sparingly, a drop or two is enough in a cake batter. On the other hand, they are totally not recommended for pregnant women, including in food. If you or one of your guests cannot consume them, turn to hydrosols instead.

Lightness and indulgence

Spring marks the return of sunny days, but also lighter desserts. Desires for ice cream and sorbets arise in particular. Likewise, spring fruit tarts are more than ever in the spotlight, to punctuate a seasonal meal. As for creamy desserts, a simple tip can help you make them lighter: cream cheese. The marriage with fruit can sometimes be frightening, and yet it is a happy union, because the fresh cheese softens their acidity. Cream cheese desserts also appear less sweet, without compromising on deliciousness. A good reason to bet on the cheesecake, mozzarella ice cream and strawberry tiramisu.

Strawberry and rhubarb

Colorful, tasty, refreshing… Impossible to miss, strawberries and rhubarb are the essential products of the season. Of the must have in short. Moreover, they come in all kinds of ways, in salads, cakes, crumble, pavlova…
