Picnics are the ideal way to enjoy a great meal while spending time outdoors. Check out our delicious picnic ideas for the finest pies and tarts filled with fresh fruits, as well as portable sweet delights and other ideas perfect for carrying in your bag.
Fruit Salad
This traditional picnic dessert is as healthy as they come. Make it more interesting by threading your favorites onto kabobs. Alternatively, add fresh mint, honey-lime dressing, avocados, grilled fruits, and dark chocolate, or tropical fruits to the traditional mix.
Fruit Pizzas
Fruit pizzas could be the ideal dessert for anyone planning a picnic. They can feed any number of people who might show up at a party, and they pack a big visual punch without requiring much effort. Also, they’re a great deal of fun to make. This version is spread with a lemon cream cheese filling and topped with kiwi and strawberries, making it suitable for any season. However, the best thing about fruit pizza is how simple it is to customize.
Chocolate Brownies
Chocolate brownies are always everyone’s favorite at picnics. We’ve found people planning picnics only to make more of these beauties, which are crunchy on the outside but soft in the middle.
Strawberry Shortcake
This strawberry shortcake roll is perfect for slicing and sharing at your next picnic. For the ultimate refreshing treat on a hot day, the sponge cake is filled with a sweet and tangy cream and chopped strawberries.
Candy Apples
Apples are traditionally thought to be a fall fruit, but candy apples are delicious all year! They transform a traditional healthy treat into a more enjoyable one that isn’t messy or affected by the weather.
Lemon Blueberry Bars
They’re great for picnics because they’re portable and can be made ahead of time – even the day before – and they’re a great sweet treat for all your picnic adventures.
What people also like about these picnic bars is how adaptable the recipe is. You can change up the ingredients to get the flavors and textures you want. Also, the gluten-free and vegan version of these sweet treats are incredibly simple to make.
Oatmeal Chocolate Chip Cookies
These cookies are incredibly simple to make and extremely tasty. They’re delicious with semi-sweet chocolate chips, but try them with milk chocolate chips for a truly decadent treat.
Macaroon Cookies
Macaroon cookies have long been a favorite of children. If you know anyone who is allergic to dairy or gluten, these cookies are ideal for them. The only issue with these cookies is that, because they are only a bite or two in size, you just keep popping them in your mouth one after the other until they are all gone.
Cheesecake Desserts
Cheesecake is a favorite in any season because it is cool and creamy. That classic flavor can also be used in a dip, fruit salad, bars, or another form of treat that is easy to serve and eat at a picnic.
Mango and Melon Verrines
A band of crunchy crushed cookies separates creamy layers of melon and mango panna cotta from a topping of juicy diced fruit in this dessert. Replace the delicate serving glasses with sturdy mason jars to make them picnic-worthy.
Lamingtons
Lamingtons are the ideal portable dessert for a picnic. This traditional dessert is filled with cream and jam, iced in chocolate, and rolled in coconut. These little squares go great with a thermos of hot tea. These delectable little treats don’t require plates or forks and another great thing about it is that it’s made of chocolate!
Carrot Cake
A picnic isn’t complete until it includes a strong, light fruit cake or a delicious, nutty carrot cake. Cut them into easy-to-pack slices to whip out when everyone’s finished snacking on the savory. The moist sponge is delicately flavored with nutmeg and cinnamon before being topped with a creamy soft cheese frosting and crushed walnuts.
Raspberry Custard Cake
This simple cake is packed with fresh raspberries and readymade custard, making it the ideal family picnic snack. The combination of wobbly blobs of sweet custard, tart berries, and vanilla sponge is an instant winner.
You can enjoy your picnic by getting these desserts in custom packages and snack bundle to your picnic and event places with yourselves.
