Thumb_12013_Blackberries With Yogurt And Honey

It's hard to improve on a bowl of really sweet, ripe blackberries. But if you have some blackberries that are too tart to enjoy on their own or are overripe and on their way out, try mixing them with plain yogurt and honey.

Thumb_13372_Sweetened Ricotta With Peaches And Fresh Plum Sauce

The best ricotta for this dessert is the fresh whole-milk kind available at many Italian specialty markets, but supermarket brands (either whole-milk or part-skim) are an acceptable substitute. Read more about this recipe at the Washington Post.

If you don't have a fondue pot, you can serve this luscious chocolate fondue in a bowl, but you have to eat quickly, before it hardens. Read more about this recipe at Coconut & Lime.

This dish is simple but divine, great for a healthy dessert or snack. The silky sweet flesh of kiwi fruit is perfect with tangy, creamy yogurt and a drizzle of honey.

The beauty of this frozen yogurt is that it tastes as good as ice cream but is healthier and requires virtually no cooking. If you drain the yogurt and chop and freeze the fruit ahead of time, it can be thrown together on a whim.

Thumb_12730_Strawberries Tossed In Peppered Raspberry Vinegar

While the usual routine calls for balsamic vinegar, I have often used this recipe in my classes. Students can't believe that it will be good, and it's spectacularly good. Like this recipe? Find more like it in one of Barbara Kafka's many excellent cookbooks.

Thumb_8986_Fresh Whipped Cream

How sweet you like your whipped cream is up to you – the proportions here are just a guideline. When the dessert is particularly sweet, like a rich chocolate cake, I tend to add less sugar than for a less sweet one, like a simple berry cobbler.
