10 Desserts With Herbs You Should Try

Desserts are definitely a great thing, but do they have to be chocolaty all the time? Don’t get me wrong there’s nothing wrong with chocolate, and if you love a rich chocolate cake with chocolate icing – more power to you. But there are some of us who want other, more unusual flavors in our desserts. So if you’re willing to experiment and want to explore different dessert options here are some desserts that are made with herbs. Get ready for an explosion of flavor and we hope you can find a new favourite amongst these or at least something that will make you want to try and recreate it at home.

1. Lemon Herb Shortbread Cookies

If you like lemon shortbread you will probably love these too. They have that comforting classic shortbread cookie texture, but the flavour is definitely elevated thanks to herbs. The most common herbs to use for these kinds of cookies are rosemary, thyme, sage or even earl grey tea leaves.

2. Peach Basil Galette

Galettes are great for those who don’t like messing about with pie crusts. They’re easier to make and have that rustic home-made look to them. And of course, you can use absolutely anything as filling, but peach and basil is a surprisingly delicious combo.

3. Lemon Honey Thyme Bars

Lemon and honey are a match made in heaven, but once you add thyme to it, suddenly it’s a whole other ball game. The herbs just make it so much more interesting and sophisticated in flavor. You have to give these a try.

4. Chocolate Mint Fudge

We’re not actually against chocolate, you know? Chocolate combined with herbs can yield some very yummy results. And since chocolate chip mint ice-cream is a favourite for many, why not try a chocolate mint fudge? You’ll be surprised by how good it is.
