Saturday Sweets: Spring Desserts Are In Full Bloom
With the change in season, comes the change of many favorite menus around Miami. This week’s Saturday Sweets is all about spring inspired desserts. Think fresh fruits and notes of floral — from mini pies to plates desserts, here’s what you should be ordering.
Pink Pie
The menu at Pink Pie is always on constant rotation, after all they’ve got hundreds of amazing recipes up their sleeves, but with spring comes new flavors we’ve yet to try. Make your way to the mini pie shop to check out the new Carrot Cake, Dulce de Leche Almond, Passion Fruit, Matcha (it’s vegan and gluten free) and Fruity Pebbles. Don’t worry the Key Lime, Oreo Nutella, S’mores, Salted Caramel, and Guava are still up for grabs.
