Summer is the season to peel, slice, and dice kiwi fruit to incorporate its sweet, tangy flavor into seasonal desserts. Garnish a sweet, tangy pie with kiwi quarters, shingle the toppings of a fruit tart with fresh green contrast, or line a trifle bowl with sliced kiwi for a dramatic presentation. Kiwi is the tropical garnish of the season and a bright addition to any punch bowl. Here’s an array of kiwi recipes with creative ways to put the fruit on display.
