Dessert Bruschetta Bar!
I had so much fun serving this dessert to my family! The sky is the limit with what you can do with this! Start by cutting a baguette into about 30 slices. Spread some melted butter on top of each, then sprinkle with some sugar and bake at 350 degrees until lightly toasted, about 10 minutes. This can be done ahead and stored in an airtight container or freezer bag. Now comes the fun part! Get your favorite fruit and prepare it any way you like it and spread it on the toasted baguette slice! Have some creamy spreads like masarpone cheese and Nutella chocolate spread to smear on the bruschetta before you top it off with the fruit. Then have some toppers after you put the fruit on. Chopped candied pecans or walnuts work great.
For hints, try some of my family's favorites!
Sliced fresh strawberries with a splash of Grand Marnier and orange zest. Grilled apricots. Grilled figs. Sliced grilled pineapple (then chop it into small pieces) with just a tinge of rum. Sauteed mango or papaya with brown sugar. Sliced kiwis. Fresh raspberries and blackberries.
Now think of something that I haven't mentioned and create your own dessert!
Now pour yourself a glass of SOMETHING and enjoy your day!!!
