Red, white and blue dessert that will bring a festive, creamy and fresh touch to your table this holiday weekend Ready to celebrate?!? I sure am.  Flip flops and bikini on. G rill fired up. And cocktail in hand.  Ohhh, I do love summer :) Remember my posts for  grilled chicken/zucchini rolls  on a skewer and my  berry sparkler cocktail ?!? Those are perfect choices for your weekend menu. The only thing that's missing now is an easy-to-bake, Fourth of July-inspired dessert. So here it is, and all for you.  Say hello to this beautiful and crazy delicious berry cup! This dessert is ready in a breeze, and you don't have to be a professional pastry chef to pull it off. These cups are a simple and delicious combination of delicate custard cream (made from scratch), sweet pieces of meringues (store bought), and lots of super sweet, fresh berries (thank you nature!).

Crispy and buttery puff pastry cannoncini (horns) filled with velvety and rich custard cream I want to start the new year with something special. Something Italian. Something that I simply looove. Something that is ... what's the right word?!?... DESSERT of course!!  And I don't mean any random dessert but a crispy and buttery puff pastry shell exploding with rich and sinfully creamy custard.

Bring a taste of summer to your table with these crispy meringue cups filled with sweet berries and velvety rich whipped cream Heavenly! If you ask me, this is what heaven must taste like.  Just like a perfect mingle of sunshine sweet berries and silky whipped cream. Served up in a cloud-resembling dessert, p erfectly c rispy on the outside and dangerously soft on the inside.  And if you ask my kids, they'd tell you this is the best dessert they've ever eaten.  Their words, not mine 😊 Technically though, it's not the first time they've said that. But still, I'm pretty sure this dessert makes it to their top five.  And for very good reasons! This luscious piece of heaven (that's what it really should be called) has naturally sweet berries, rich and fluffy whipped cream, and a light and airy homemade meringue on the bottom which truly m elts in your mouth when hitting your tastebuds. Now, let's discuss how you can make this unbelievable d...
