My official first Spring dessert is on the menu! Featuring an all veggie dessert (don't be scared!), it's become one of my favorites. Whenever I describe this dessert, people usually look confused. While the idea of a vegetable dessert does not have the same mouth inducing result of something like a warm brownie, chocolate sauce, and vanilla ice cream, this is delicious. Not to fear, this dessert is a crowd pleaser. White asparagus, sweet pea and mint ice cream, and lemon meringue is an intriguing and delicious combination. Add on the rest and it's a bona fide dessert.

These are cape gooseberries, also known as golden berry. Funny enough, these are not related to berries, but to vegetables such as tomatillo and tomatoes. The taste is similar to a sweet and tart mini tomato.
