Summer Dessert Board

If you’ve been following a while you know I love to cook, but hate baking (way too much math and science involved and I hate measuring). So when I need to bring a dessert somewhere and still impress, here’s my solution: the dessert board! This one’s even themed for Memorial Day festivities, but there’s a million different ways you could customize it! And the best part, no baking required! I seriously bought everything at Kroger and just cut a few things up! Arrange and you’re done! Yes, even the little flowers are edible too! I can’t think of a better way to eat dessert either, getting to mix and match and try bites of all the delicious things.

Summer Strawberry Trifles with Lemon Marscapone Cream

 This super easy summer recipe combines some of my favorite ingredients: fresh strawberries, moist pound cake, and the most delicious lemon marscapone cream.  All the ingredients are amazing on their own but when layered up, the flavors and textures perfectly compliment each other!  I use a store-bought pound cake to make this recipe even easier, especially since you are going to be making the lemon marscapone cream from scratch.  I love to serve this in individual mason jars for a fun twist on the traditional trifle and a super cute, summery presentation!  It also makes it much easier to serve and transport to your party or event.
