17 Desserts to Make With Frozen Fruit

Raspberry Icebox Cake
Credit: abapplez

Nothing is more perishable than fragrant, fresh fruit. But why should we wait until May to enjoy a ripe, scarlet strawberry, or August to sink our teeth into a sweet, juicy peach? That's the great thing about the freezer. It's the most effective way to preserve fruit's peak season freshness, so you can continue to enjoy it all throughout the year. 

It'll also seriously up your dessert game. Because when you've always got baggies of flash-frozen fruit on hand, you're only minutes away from bakery-worthy pies, cakes, and cobblers. These desserts made with frozen fruit will show you that fresh isn't always best.

Made with whole-wheat flour, skim milk, and egg whites, these lighter-than-air crepes are more health conscious than your basic pancakes. But you'll hardly feel like you're missing out, especially when you dip your fork into the berry-filled centers, sweetened with powdered sugar.
