Make Raspberries and Cream for Dessert

It is no wonder why strawberries and cream are a “thing” at the Wimbledon tennis tournament. The combination of fruit and cream is light and delicious. Honestly, fresh berries (strawberries, raspberries, blueberries) and sweetened cream, I have lost count of how many times I have made this dessert over the last forty years. You can find the article here! It all started with a post-graduation trip to Disneyland in California many years ago and this memorable Raspberry and Cream Dessert.

Feel free to change the berries based on what is in season, and you can even play with the sweetener both honey and maple syrup work but they will change the colour of the cream slightly.

Pear Custard Pie

Easy and delicious the way a dessert recipe should be. The "pie" is crustless so in the end, it's between a pie and a custard. Enjoy!
