Known for being antioxidant-packed and full of natural flavor, raspberries are a delicate summer fruit that is worth the wait the rest of the year. Making an appearance in red, gold, black, or purple, raspberries are chock-full of vitamin C, folic acid, fiber, vitamin A, potassium, and calcium. Who knew this tiny treat could be so beneficial for your health? Used in refreshing drinks, decadent desserts, and more, this berry is as powerful in taste as it is in nutritional value.

Fluffiest Multigrain Pancakes with Almond Butter Drizzle

View Recipe: Fluffiest Multigrain Pancakes with Almond Butter Drizzle

Get ready; this will become your new Sunday morning staple. These pancakes are wonderfully hearty, thanks to old-fashioned oats and white whole-wheat flour, yet their texture is still fluffy and light, with a beguiling creaminess in the middle. Instead of dousing this short stack with syrup, we opt instead for a nutty sauce of maple-sweetened almond butter—cutting about 27g added sugars from the typical pancake breakfast. (Feel free to sub any nut butter you have on hand). Soaking the oats first softens them and helps create that creamy interior texture. As they soak, you can make the almond butter sauce and measure out the other ingredients.

Chocolate-Raspberry Smoothie

View Recipe: Chocolate-Raspberry Smoothie

Smoothies are a perfect way to enjoy fresh raspberries this summer. Jumpstart your morning with a smoothie, or enjoy after a good workout. This super-chocolaty raspberry smoothie is a tasty nondairy option for everyone. Dates offer richness and a caramel-like sweetness--naturally--while boosting fiber by about 2g.

Berry-and-Beet Green Smoothie

View Recipe: Berry-and-Beet Green Smoothie

A lot of people give smoothies a short blend at full power, but that doesn't give the best results. Starting at low speed and gradually increasing power lets the blades work better, breaking the ingredients down evenly and at the same time.

Mini Raspberry Cheesecakes

Credit: Photo: Greg Dupree
View Recipe: Mini Raspberry Cheesecakes

We had the greatest success using a pan with 2 1/2-ounce cups, such as Chicago Metallic's 12-Well Mini Cheesecake Pan ($25). This pan has removable bottoms (similar to a tart pan) so that you simply push each cheesecake up to remove it. You can also bake them in a standard muffin tin; line it with foil liners for easier removal.

Grilled Balsamic Chicken Salad With Spiced Pecans

View Recipe: Grilled Balsamic Chicken Salad With Spiced Pecans

You'll want to double the sweet and spicy sautéed pecans for snacking during the week. Sub fresh summer fruit like blueberries or nectarines for the raspberries. Grill the chicken and make the spiced pecans in advance. Change up the greens, fruit, and dressing for fast lunches.

Berry Limoncello

A slightly richer and sweeter postdinner sip helps you to digest the meal just as a light and dry aperitif helped start it. Fresh raspberries, strawberries, and lemons provide the right balance of sweet and sour flavor.

Nectarine and Berry Crumble

View Recipe: Nectarine and Berry Crumble

We love the combo of nectarines and raspberries, but use the fruit you have on hand--just be sure it's ripe and flavorful. Toasting the topping in the oven while the fruit cooks on the stovetop ensures the dessert is done lightning-fast.

Fresh Raspberry-Vanilla Preserves

View Recipe: Fresh Raspberry-Vanilla Preserves

Reducing the first press of the macerated rapsberry mixture before adding the rest intensifies the raspberry flavor. Kiwis are naturally very high in pectin—just one will thicken the preserves nicely. For quick but dazzling desserts, warm the jam in a medium saucepan over low heat and spoon over grilled pound cake, ice cream, or frozen yogurt.

Raspberry-Swirl Mini Bundt Cakes

View Recipe: Raspberry-Swirl Mini Bundt Cakes

It's best to make one batch of cakes at a time (don't double the batter), though you can easily double the raspberry mixture. If you don't have a minibundtlette pan, you can make one large Bundt cake instead. If you have an 8-cup Bundt pan, that's ideal, but a 10-cup pan will work, too (the cake just won't be as tall). Bake at 350° for 25 to 28 minutes or until a wooden pick comes out clean. Spreading the batter evenly in minibundtlette cups can be a little tricky. Try spooning the batter into a large zip-top plastic bag; then snip off one bottom corner of the bag, and pipe batter into cups.

​Pretty Packaging: To keep cakes looking their best, make sure the glaze is fully set before packaging. For individual treats, place one cake on a tissue paper square, place into a cellophane bag, and tie with ribbon.

Raspberry-Lime Rickey Slushies

View Recipe: Raspberry-Lime Rickey Slushies

Red raspberries' juicy, perfumey, sweet flavor peaks from late June through August and is just right for this summer cooler. We spiked the drink with an herbaceous, citrusy gin that's distilled in small batches in Philadelphia. You can also omit the gin for a refreshing mocktail.

Raspberry-Rhubarb Pie

View Recipe: Raspberry-Rhubarb Pie

Though a beloved pie classic, rhubarb has a strong tartness that sometimes needs moderating. Sweet raspberries do that job perfectly here, while a splash of crème de cassis adds even deeper berry flavor. A slice of this pie absolutely screams for a scoop of vanilla ice cream.

Quick and easy to make in just three simple steps, this chicken main and cucumber salad side will soon become a weeknight family favorite. The chipotle chile lends a smoky kick to the chicken and plays well with the raspberry jam and lime juice, while the Cucumber Salad tones down that heat from the chipotles.

View Recipe: Lemon Cornmeal Waffles with Raspberry-Rhubarb Compote

This compote uses frozen fruit, which is as nutritious as fresh and readily available in winter. The honeyed yogurt offers a sweet balance for the tangy compote, which can be made ahead and refrigerated for up to one week. While Greek yogurt offers a thicker base for the topping, plain low-fat yogurt can be substituted, if desired.

Coconut Cake with Raspberry Filling

View Recipe: Coconut Cake with Raspberry Filling

A little coconut flour (look for it with specialty flours) adds extra nutty essence. But don't get overzealous and use more than we specify; because this flour lacks the gluten of wheat-based cake flour, it would wreck the structure.

Raspberry sparkling wine has a pretty pink color and lightly sweet flavor; you can use regular sparkling wine for a less sweet dessert. Or you can skip the alcohol and use raspberry-flavored seltzer water instead.

Raspberries add bright color and several good-for-you nutrients like fiber, antioxidants, and vitamin C. Almonds are a good source of vitamin E and monounsaturated fats. Chives, members of the onion family, add phenols and flavonoids.

Limoncello is a lemon-flavored liqueur from Italy's Amalfi coast. It's often savored after a meal. Store it in the freezer, and serve over ice. If you have trouble finding it, substitute an orange-flavored liqueur such as Grand Marnier. This recipe earned our Test Kitchens' highest rating.
