We tend to eat “lighter” in the summertime, and that habit even extends to dessert (except for us chocoholics, for whom every season is chocolate season).
Here’s a dessert that’s perfect for summer, when fresh fruit is abundant. A lighter-styled, slightly sweet white wine makes the perfect pairing partner.
