2 super easy fruit desserts
About 2 super easy fruit desserts
2 super easy fruit desserts: one is ice cream with strawberry sauce, and the other is pineapple with mint. I often make these easy desserts at home. I’ve been making them for a really long time since I bought a food processor and a hand blender. I think this is because it is super easy to make and you can make it as soon as you come up with it. Moreover, they are refreshing desserts and very delicious. It’s too easy to call a recipe, but I thought it might be useful for busy people. Hence, I have decided to write it.
Below are links to the nutrition and health benefits of strawberry and pineapple, please read them if you like.
Ice cream with strawberry sauce
As the name suggests, this is strawberry sauce sprinkled over vanilla ice cream. Make a sauce by pureing fresh strawberries and a small amount of sugar in a blender or food processor. Then just sprinkle it over good quality vanilla ice cream. That’s it, but it’s quite delicious. You can adjust the amount of sugar according to the taste of the strawberries. I usually use vanilla ice cream, but I think strawberry ice cream is fine too.
Nowadays, you can buy strawberries all year round, but it’s really delicious if you use the ones from the peak season.
Pineapple with mint
As for pineapple dessert, put sugar and mint leaves in a food processor and chop the mint leaves into small pieces. Then mix this with the clean cut pineapple. When the sugar has melted and the mint leaves have spread all over, it’s done.
Pineapple and mint are available all year round, so you can make this dessert whenever you like. Ripe pineapple is delicious as it is, but it goes well with mint. The refreshing taste of mint makes it a perfect dessert after eating a rich meat dish.
Lastly, since both desserts are uncooked, eat them as soon as you make them. I think it’s okay to leave the pineapple dessert for about 30 minutes. But if you leave it for a long time, the color of mint will change.
