Simple summer desserts ideas ?
21 Jun 2014, 12:14
I just made a simple frozen yoghurt with raspberries, a plain yoghurt and a touch of salted caramel ( :wink: @Silverdarling), put it in the freezer for the next 2 to 3 hours and it will make a yummy snack later in the afternoon with some pistachios and crumbled speculoos on top :heart:

It made me think about what other sweet treats, desserts, snacks, I could make. I am looking for as healthy as possible treats, with simple and few ingredients. Any ideas ?
This is a really good weight watchers recipe that I've made. It's great for bringing to picnics and such.

2 cup(s) fresh blueberries
2 cup(s) raspberries
3/4 cup(s) all-purpose flour
2/3 cup(s) unpacked light brown sugar
6 Tbsp regular butter, melted
Instructions
Preheat oven to 350˚F.

Place berries in a medium bowl. In another medium bowl, combine flour and sugar. Remove 3 tablespoons of flour mixture and gently toss with berries. Place berries in an 8-inch square pan.

To make topping, add melted butter to remaining flour mixture; combine well. Crumble little bits of topping all over top of berries. Bake until berries just start to bubble, about 35 to 40 minutes. Cut into 8 pieces; serve warm or at room temperature. Yields 1 piece per serving.
Just ran it through MyfitnessPal and a serving came out to 225 calories, so a little high, but still better than a lot of desserts!
It sounds wonderful, even with a few calories :heart:

I am a berries nuts, we have raspberries and white currants in our garden so, right now, I eat loads of them :razz:
I love to cut a banana into slices, sprinkle some milled flaxseed on, pour on a natural live greek yogurt, sprinkle on top of all this some chopped Brazils or hazelnuts and flaked almonds. Lord knows how high the count is but WoW is it Good!!
