Mouthwatering Berries Gratin as Famed French Dessert

Have you ever heard of the stale proverb that says, sweetness can kill? I think so, too, especially if you suffer from diabetes or is menaced to earn extra weight -- all because of your sweet tooth. I tried as hard as I can to thwart the sweet temptation, but I always fall deep into my guilty pleasures for delectable desserts. For me, the main course will never be complete without the after meal delight that drains the heavy feeling from a fulfilling recipe. Lucky for me, I finally saw a way not to resist the temptation but at least, to lay my hands off the over-coated tasty desserts.

At a diner near the Eiffel Tower, I ordered the berries gratin from the menu and was satisfied to see that fruits and not pure sugar are in this French dessert. I reveled in the fruity fillings of fresh raspberries and cherries that acquainted me with a soft sensation to my mouth. I love the colorful assortment but much more, the delightful mix of flavors because of the sour cream and the vanilla syrup. Opposites do attract when what you have is a sweet and sour perfection from this scrumptious French recipe. Of course, I can't have berries gratin all the time, so I try to get easy on the carbs and regularly have fresh slices of fruits as nourishing alternatives.
