Are you surprised to see such a fancy dessert? Don’t be! Christina Lane made this one dairy-free and naturally sweetened so that she doesn’t feel badly about eating it for breakfast.

Lane used figs because summer was in full swing when she perfected this recipe, but mango and raspberries are great here too.
