Whatever you want to call them, these magnificent, deconstructed, creamy treats are quite frankly, the best dessert you could make all summer. At this point, I don’t have to tell you how ripe and fresh California apricots and blackberries are. That’s a given.

I’m ready to start making these, how about you?
Let’s make these stuffed apricots step-by-step:
Firstly, half your apricots and remove the pit.
Next, you’re ready to spoon in a dollop of whipped cream cheese. (I use the pre-whipped version).
Then gently press a blackberry right on top of the cream cheese. Now you have a stuffed apricot!
At last, drizzle honey over each jewel to let it glisten. Finally, pop these beauties under the broiler to toast up a bit and voila…
Dessert is ready to serve!
Delightful, flavorful, show stopping treats are served, at last!
In this case, you can pick them up right off the platter with your hand and eat them, or serve two jewels together in a dish!
Cheers to easy apricot summer desserts, all!
