DESSERTS

Did someone say…. dessert…? You bet we did! Some of our favourite desserts are super simple, but lack none of the essential elements that make this part of the meal so fabulous. Simply drizzling one of our wonderful infused balsamic reductions over fresh fruit, or ice cream will create the most heavenly dessert treats you can imagine. But that’s only barely scratching the surface of possibility in this category. The variety of incredible desserts made with our products include all manner of baked goods, cookies, cakes, pies and more. Ever had a blueberry lemon agrumato paleta?? That means an out of this world delicious Popsicle for most of us by the way. Oh yeah, read on for more ideas and step-by-step recipes that’ll have your dinner guests begging for more.
