Simple Strawberry Sauce

Submitted by: bluegirl

Living In: Dallas, Texas, USA

Sugar pulls the juice out of the berries, making a bright and sweet sauce. Enjoy it with shortbread, angel food cake, pancakes, or just to eat on its own with yogurt or whipped cream.

Chocolate Ganache

Basic ganache consists of just two ingredients: semi-sweet chocolate and heavy cream. Yet it is one of the most versatile and delicious dessert components you can make.

Start with a simple ice cream base or crème Anglaise and create your own ice cream flavors. Mix in your favorite summer berries, high-quality chocolate (whether melted and/or cut into chunks), or toasted nuts, or infuse the cream with tea leaves, coffee, or herbs.

Dessert Garnishes

Have a ball with purees and sauces by "painting" a plate with them. Use two sauces of contrasting colors, such as chocolate sauce and crème Anglaise, or sweetened raspberry and mango purées.
