But, I digress....really popping in today was all about sharing the delicious dessert recipe from the weekend! There's not a recipe we've ever made from Ina that hasn't been delish! In an effort to eat a little healthier, we stunbled upon it while searching fruit desserts. With that in mind, we did adapt it a bit and, honestly, I don't think we missed anything! It will definitely be enjoyed again, likely soon when our blackberies begin to ripen!
Fruit Salad with Lemoncello
Adapted from Ina Garten
Ingredients
Lemon Yogurt Sauce:
- 5 oz Greek yogurt
- 1/3 cup lemon curd
- 1 T honey
- 1/4 t vanilla
Fruit:
- 2 cups sliced strawberries
- 1 cup raspberries
- 1 cup blueberries
- 1 cup blackberries
- 3 T lemon syrup
Lemon Syrup:
- 1/3 cup lemon juice
- 1/3 cup sugar
Directions
- Mix all sauce ingredients and set aside.
- Mix all fruit together and top with 3 T lemon syrup.
- Lemon syrup: Mix lemon juice and sugar together. Allow to sit, stirring frequently until dissolved and liquid. (Took about 15 minutes.)
- Serve fruit with a dollop of lemon yogurt.
My Notes:
- Obviously, there isn't limoncello in this recipe. For our purpose we needed a nonalcoholic alternative, hence the lemon syrup, which replaced, in equal amount, the limoncello.
- Ina sprinkles her fruit with sugar. We did omit this step. Honestly, it was pretty sweet as is, so we would do so again in the future.
- Moving forward, I may omit or lessen the honey from the sauce. The end result was pretty sweet.
- I can only imagine this would be pretty terrific served over pound cake.
Happy Cooking!
This looks so yummy. I love fresh fruit. It's funny, I was reading through your recipe looking for the word lemoncello and then saw your explanation. I'd love to try it both ways!
ReplyDeleteI can only imagine how yummy the limoncello would be!! You can swap it out using the same measurements :).
