Has anyone ever asked you if you prefer salty or sweet foods? I typically answer both. I love sweets. I love salty snacks. And which one I want at any given moment depends on my mood.
Today’s post is a guest post from Sierra. She describes 4 spring and summer desserts that the sweet tooth people will love. Even if you prefer salty foods, I think you’ll enjoy these recipes since many contain fresh fruit. And who doesn’t like fresh fruit desserts?
4 Spring and Summer Desserts to Satisfy Your Sweet Tooth
There’s nothing like a delicious spring and summer time dessert to satisfy your cravings for a yummy treat during the warmer months. Depending on what you and your sweet tooth are craving, there are several desserts to select from to make. From tarts to cakes, use your imagination and make a dessert that’s perfect for the seasons. If you haven’t made the desserts listed below, try pulling up a new recipe. I’m sure it will be absolutely delicious and worth your time to make.
Blueberry Tart
Even though the fourth of July is a long time away, practicing to make a blueberry tart in April will get you prepared to make desserts in July. A tart with blueberries goes perfectly with a red, white, and blue theme, and you can also add some red via strawberries if you wish. Use a frozen puff pastry and make an elegant dessert that is filled with a lemon-infused cream cheese filling. Delicious!

Plum Upside – Down Cake
Have you heard of a plum upside – down cake? If you haven’t heard of this cake you’re definitely missing out. Filled with ripe, juicy plums, this cake is tasty and is just a bit healthier than your average cake because of the plums. Serve it with a bit of ice cream and you’ll have a perfect spring time dessert for guests and family members.

Ice Cream with Honey Poached Peaches
If you love fruit and peaches come to mind you have to try vanilla ice cream with toasted coconuts and apricots some time. Cooked in honey syrup, this dessert is one satisfying treat. Make this dessert for a family get together or better yet – make it and keep it all for you. It’s that good.
