Treat yourself to colorful spring desserts!
Tart rhubarb and ruby red strawberries are some of the very first local fruits that make a triumphant return to markets every spring. Unsurprisingly, the two ingredients have wonderfully complementary aromas and flavors, which means they allow for creating gorgeous, colorful spring desserts!
While spring desserts can be just as indulgent as their winter counterparts, the bright, fresh flavors they use give them a lighter, brighter feel. The five desserts I'm presenting to you today are a delightful way to treat yourself and your loved ones with something a little extra special. I've even got a bonus collection of rhubarb recipes by some of my favorite bloggers for you!
Rhubarb Panna Cotta
Rhubarb Panna Cotta is an easy, yet dreamily creamy dessert that showcases rhubarb's sharp, bright taste. This recipe really makes the most of spring rhubarb by using it three ways: it starts with a rhubarb compote that's partly mixed into the panna cotta, and partly used to top it for a pop of sparkly pink. Poached rhubarb is then used as a garnish to take the presentation up a notch.
It's just as lovely as a post-dinner dessert as it is as a started for a spring brunch! | | | If you love rhubarb and are looking for more ways to cook with it, check out this collection of 15 Rhubarb Dessert Recipes from some of my favorite bloggers around the web.
