Fruit Forward Desserts

As much as I absolutely adore the very doughy, chocolatey, and rich desserts, also I love creating desserts with fresh fruits.

There is something incredibly satisfying about incorporating natural freshness and sweetness into a sweet creation, sometimes waiting for a specific fruit to be in season to experiment with it in your kitchen.

From strawberry specked loaves, to soft maple-blueberry muffins, and layered trifles, this list is for anyone who loves to celebrate the beauty and flavor of fruits through their culinary creations.
