Author Notes
This dessert is inspired by one of Martha Rose Shulman's "recipes for health" in the New York Times. I love dessert, and am always looking for ways to feed myself and my boyfriend delicious treats that are also nutritious. While it should be enjoyed in moderation (it's STILL dessert!), I love that it includes beautiful fruit, eggs, and minimal butter and sugar. Plus, this simple, easy to make dessert always looks stunning for guests. —nadiact
