Fruit based desserts are a family favorite. Everyone loves them! My healthier eaters devour this dessert and my chocolate smores lovers agree that this dessert is a summertime winner too. Serve with vanilla ice cream for the perfect summer night dessert. The fresh basil gives this a summer zing, but omit it if you don’t have any fresh basil around.
