 One
of the top trends at restaurants right now is serving desserts
that leave you satisfied with a refreshing flare. The good news
is you can easily use this trend in your own entertaining. The
right refreshing dessert is sure to impress your guests and end
your soiree on a deliciously high note.
Here are some simple and sweet
ideas you can use to add pizzazz to your next gathering:
Add a Healthy
Twist with Fruit Kabobs
Fruit is a delicious and healthy way to satisfy the sweet tooth
at your next gathering. Fruit kabobs are a great option because
they're both portable and fun for guests to enjoy, so they work
for sit-down dinners or less formal buffets.
Start by choosing a variety of
fresh fruit options. For example, strawberries, pineapple, grapes
and melon are all great fruit selections are refreshing. Wash
and cut fruit into bite-size pieces and alternate as you skewer
the kabob. Present the juicy dessert on a festive tray for a
way to add color to any entree. Add some flavorful fruit dips
and you've made something everyone is sure to enjoy.
Add Something
Different with an Iced Coffee Dessert Bar
More and more people are drinking chilled coffee so you're bound
to get a great reaction from your guests if you add an iced coffee
dessert bar the next time you host a gathering. With the help
of Seattle’s Best Coffee’s Seattle's Best Blend and
a cocktail shaker, impress your guests by giving them a cafe
experience right in your own home.
Simply cold brew Seattle's Best
Blend by steeping coarsely ground coffee in cold water overnight
to create a rich, smooth coffee concentrate perfect for the base
of any iced coffee beverage. Hand-shake it together with water
and ice or milk in a cocktail shaker and serve with flavored
syrups, sweeteners and even whipped cream. To really make it
a sweet treat, sprinkle your smooth, chilled beverages with fun
toppings like crushed cookies and candy or add unique flavors
with a dash of cinnamon or powdered vanilla.
Cool Off with
Sweet Sorbet
Sorbet is a frozen dessert made from sweetened water and iced
fruit. Most often it is made without milk, so it is a healthier
dessert option. A great treat, sorbet's refreshing fruit base
is tasty and cleanses the palette.
Although you can make sorbet
yourself, you can find many varieties at your local grocery store
that will pair well with other dishes. Strawberry, raspberry
and peach are popular flavors, but look for other, more exotic
choices like kiwi, mango or pineapple.
Reminisce
with Root Beer Floats
Every generation enjoys a cold root beer float. It’s a guilty
pleasure that will make guests smile and is a perfect dessert
choice.
Start by choosing your favorite
root beer soda. If you’re serving to children, there are
many options that are also caffeine free. Pour the liquid into
a cup and add a scoop of vanilla ice cream on top. Add a straw
and serve. For a new twist on the classic dessert, try different
types of soda such as orange, strawberry or cola.
