There’s something magical about frozen fruit — it brings a burst of vibrant flavor and a touch of summer sweetness no matter the season. And what better time to showcase that freshness than Shavuos, when dairy desserts take center stage and we celebrate with beautiful, creative dishes?
This year, we’re leaning into the freezer aisle to whip up desserts that are easy, elegant, and totally unforgettable. From tropical mousses to creamy vegan cheesecakes, from refreshing pops to a fruit salad that’s as fabulous as it sounds — these recipes are proof that frozen fruit can be the hero of your Yom Tov table.
Whether you’re looking for a show-stopping finale or a light, fruity bite, these six recipes capture the spirit of Shavuos with bold flavors, minimal fuss, and maximum impact. Let’s dive in!
1. Dragon Fruit Sorbet, 3 Ways by Michal Frischman
I need to crowdsource my recipe ideas more often, because I ended up in a direction I wouldn’t have gone on my own! Thanks, Chaya Surie, for the great idea to use a popular national coffee chain’s dragon fruit refresher drink as the inspo for this.
2. Pear and Passion Fruit Mousse Cups by Faigy Grossman
I was so excited to discover frozen passion fruit puree cubes in the supermarket freezer; this delicious and flavorful fruit is sometimes difficult to find and is usually quite expensive. I knew I wanted to create something special for Yom Tov with it. This airy and exquisite-tasting mousse cup is elegant and easy at the same time, perfect for a Yom Tov dessert!
3. Vegan, Grain-Free Passion Fruit Cheesecake by Bat-El Gershowitz
This raw vegan passion fruit cheesecake is creamy, rich, decadent, and so perfect for hosting during the holidays! It requires no complicated ingredients, only things we usually have in our pantry anyways. And the best part, no baking or oven is required. Super simple and fast to put together in only a few short steps. If you love passion fruit, this cake hits all the notes. It looks and tastes as fancy as it gets. But you can definitely switch things around and use your favorite topping instead. Whatever you pick will be amazing.
4. Peach Crumble by Sara Goldstein
Taste the sweet juiciness of peaches year-round with this crumble made with Beleaves frozen peach slices. Keep them in the freezer for whenever you need a delicious dessert! I added a little bit of cardamom spice, for a warm and slightly citrusy flavor. I highly recommend using it, but if you don’t have it on hand, no worries, the crumble will still wow your guests!

Salad does not always mean vegetables. Check out this refreshing fruit fiesta with passion fruit for zest and creativity!
