Healthier Dessert: Summer Fruit Bruschetta

Today, I’m excited to share a fresh and vibrant dessert recipe that’s perfect for summer gatherings. This Summer Fruit Bruschetta is a delightful twist on the classic savory dish, incorporating a variety of juicy fruits and a hint of sweetness. It’s the perfect light and refreshing treat to enjoy during the warm months.

For this recipe, you’ll need the following ingredients:

• 1 small baguette
• 2 tbsp honey
• 100g strawberries
• 2 kiwis
• 1 peach
• a handful of mint leaves

Before you begin, make sure you have the following kitchen tools ready:

• knife
• cutting board
• baking sheet
• mixing bowl

Start by preheating your oven to 350°F (175°C). Slice the baguette into half-inch-thick rounds and place them on a baking sheet. Drizzle a little olive oil over the slices and toast them in the oven for about 5-7 minutes, until they are golden brown and crisp.

While the baguette slices are toasting, prepare the fruit topping. Dice the strawberries, kiwis, and peach into small, uniform pieces and place them in a mixing bowl. Add in the honey and gently toss everything together until the fruits are well coated.

Once the baguette slices are ready, remove them from the oven and allow them to cool slightly. Top each slice with a generous spoonful of the fruit mixture, ensuring each piece is loaded with a colorful assortment of fruits. Finish off by garnishing each bruschetta with a few fresh mint leaves for a pop of flavor.

The total weight of the cooked dish is approximately 450g, with about 12 servings. Each serving is around 37.5g. As a lighter dessert option, each serving of this Summer Fruit Bruschetta is estimated to be around 80 calories.

One clever tip for this recipe is to sprinkle a touch of cinnamon over the fruit mixture before serving. The warm spice adds a subtle depth of flavor that complements the sweetness of the fruits beautifully.

I hope you give this Summer Fruit Bruschetta a try at your next gathering. Feel free to mix and match different fruits or add a drizzle of balsamic glaze for a unique twist. Enjoy this refreshing and healthier dessert with friends and family!
