What is a Sweet Bruschetta Dessert?

Series Summary

If Ben Franklin could be persuaded to amend his own words from the afterlife, he might say that dessert is also proof that God loves us and wants us to be happy. Though everybody has their own idea of what qualifies as dessert, sweet foods are an essential part of the everyday taste experience. Their relatively minor role in the nutritional pyramid belies their powerful ability to bring a sense of instant gratification, signified by an ebullient smile. Perhaps this reaction is more complex than it seems. Perhaps dessert reminds us of home, of everything that’s good, of times spent with mothers and fathers, grandmothers and grandfathers, over a freshly baked pie or some chocolate chip cookies and milk.

Our chef takes a unique look at dessert in this free video series, by modifying a traditional appetizer to create this recipe for sweet bruschetta dessert.
