Gluten-Free Desserts with Fresh Fruit!

Spring is the perfect time to enjoy fresh fruit—and if you’re gluten-free, it’s also the perfect excuse to treat yourself to some light, delicious desserts! Whether you want something simple for a sunny afternoon or a show-stopping treat for guests, gluten-free sweets can be anything but boring. Fresh fruit makes it easy to keep things healthy AND tasty.

Why Use Fresh Fruit?

Natural sweetness: Fruits like strawberries, mangoes, peaches, and blackberries are sweet on their own, so you can use less refined sugar and still reach your ideal level of sweetness.

Light and refreshing: Unlike heavier ingredients, fresh fruits bring a light and refreshing quality to desserts—perfect for warm spring or summer days.

Flavor and color variety: From tangy berries to juicy tropical fruits, there's a world of flavors (and colors!) to play with. And each fruit has its own unique profile. Plus, they make your desserts look just as good as they taste.

So whether you're into layered cakes or something light like a homemade jelly, fresh fruit is the ultimate gluten-free upgrade. Here's some inspo to get you started:

· Fruit Tarts: Start with a gluten-free crust made from oats or nuts, spread on a creamy layer (cashew or coconut milk-based is great!) and pile on your favorite seasonal fruits—think strawberries, kiwi, pineapple, or mango.

· Gluten-Free Cookies with Berries: Swap in gluten-free flour and natural sweeteners like mashed banana or dates. Add a handful of fresh raspberries or blackberries for a pop of flavor and color.

· Natural Fruit Ice Cream or Slushies: Blend frozen fruit (like banana, mango or mixed berries) with a bit of almond milk and a splash of Vainilla Molina. That’s it—three ingredients to a creamy, dreamy, refreshing dessert!

There’s no shortage of ways to enjoy fresh, fruity desserts that are gluten-free and totally delicious. Check out the full recipes in our cookbook and start making your sweet treats a little healthier—and a whole lot more fun!
