From the earliest spring strawberries to lush, late-summer blackberries, berries rule the dessert table at our house. Here are a few of my favorite berry dessert recipes…
Berries are one of the best perks of spring and summer and it pays to get a good early start on all the fun. Whether you shop for yours or pick your own, there’s lots of deliciousness to be had. Berry desserts are always some of the most popular recipes here at tvfgi, and today I’ve gathered a few of my faves.
Strawberry Lemon Blondies
These strawberry lemon blondies have been one of my most popular desserts here at tvfgi. I think there’s something irresistible about the combination of berries and lemon–and these moist bars are just the thing to whip up with the season’s freshest strawberries.
Raspberry Crisp
A simple raspberry crisp made from scratch with fresh berries and a buttery oat topping is the best of the best summer dessert!
Blueberry Zucchini Snack Cake with Lemon Buttercream
This classic, homey snack cake is refreshed by the unexpected combination of zucchini, blueberry, and lemon. It’s quintessential summer in every bite.
Almond Pavlova with Currants
As fancy summer desserts go, the pavlova makes a spectacular presentation with very little effort. The difference between a pavlova and a basic meringue is that, while a meringue is crisp throughout, the pavlova has a soft marshmallowy interior.
Blackberry Moscato Slushies
For those hot spring and summer nights that require something easy, cooling, and maybe a little bit boozy, blackberry moscato slushies to the rescue!
Raspberry Lemon Cake
This cake was a reader favorite this season, have you tried it? I think it has something to do with that thick layer of lemon buttercream…yum!
Triple Berry Muffins
What type of berries are in triple berry muffins? Doesn’t matter ~ any combination will be fabulous, guaranteed!
Blueberry Poppy Seed Squares
I love desserts that come in bar-form, and these blueberry poppy seed squares are really unique and delicious. A thick poppy seed paste teams up with a buttery, crumbly shortbread base and delicious summer blueberries for an unforgettable treat.
Black Raspberry Ice Cream
Black raspberry ice cream is an unforgettably delicious frozen treat thanks to the unique flavor of these elusive berries. This homemade berry ripple ice cream is a summertime classic.

Delish
I feel like this is a travesty, especially during fruit season, but would this recipe work with frozen blueberries? I have two large bags of them in my freezer.
Most recipes that use fresh berries can be made with frozen berries, so go for it! I would use them straight from frozen.
