20+ Best FRESH BERRY DESSERTS and Treats

There’s nothing quite like fresh berries to bring on the summer season. This collection of fresh berry desserts and treats are a perfect way to enjoy the flavors of summer with family and friends.

I’ve always dreamt of having a huge collection of berries growing in the garden. Raspberries are my absolute favorite, with red currants coming in close second.  

Although mom already has blackberries, raspberries, red currents and even gooseberries growing in her garden, I’d love to add in some blueberries, strawberries and elderberries to the collection.

Sonja has a mulberry tree in her front yard which she uses to make delicious mulberry jam with each year.

To be honest, my favorite way to enjoy these little delicacies is when they’re fresh. However, I can’t resist delicious fresh berry desserts or treats either! From cakes, parfaits, bars, tarts and more, there are just so many ways to enjoy fresh berries as desserts.

To celebrate nature’s little summer jewels, we have collected over 20 beautiful and delicious berry desserts. These are great for summer barbecues, picnics, potlucks or just to enjoy on a hot afternoon!
