Fabulous Desserts Using Frozen Foods
Years ago, making dessert was truly a labor of love. You’d have to spend all day peeling apples, fluffing egg whites and completing the dozens of other steps needed to finish an elegant dinner with the perfect dessert. Thankfully, today that’s no longer the case, but you don’t have to let your family and friends know that! Dust your face with a little flour and let them think you’ve slaved for hours — they’ll never know the difference. Go ahead, take credit for that luscious cheesecake or that mouth-watering chocolate torte. At least tell them you drove to that out-of-the-way French bakery for those delicate éclairs. You know, the ones you pulled out of the freezer and placed on a crystal serving dish to thaw. Frozen foods are your new best friend when it comes to delivering blue ribbon desserts for your family.
In fact, even when you’re cooking from scratch, there are some recipes that work better with frozen ingredients, especially frozen fruit. You can prepare a light and delicious trifle or homestyle peach and cherry cobbler using frozen fruit. Won’t it delight your 85-year-old aunt — the one who remembers spending hours picking fruit from her own garden — to know that you can indulge in the sweet taste of summer, even in the middle of winter?
