Not everyone has the time or inclination to bake a fancy dessert, especially in the summer. This recipe starts with store-bought Cream Horns. You know the kind — those flaky pastries where the puff pastry is wrapped in a cone shape and filled with cream.

Cut the Cream Horns into one-inch slices. Top each slice with seasonal fruit of your choice (Blueberries, Raspberries, Strawberries). Melt Chocolate (milk, semisweet, dark) and drizzle on top. Finish with a sprinkling of powdered Confectioners’ Sugar.

If these pastries are being made for a special occasion, place on a doily on a special plate or tray. Enjoy!
