The 2017 Epcot Flower and Garden Festival is in full bloom right now, and this year The Berry Basket joined the Outdoor Kitchens.

The Berry Basket is the place for berry lovers, offering savory and sweet dishes! The Warm Wild Berry Buckle with Pepperberry Sorbet is one of our Best of the Fest! The warm cake topped with cool and spicy sorbet was amazing!

Warm Wild Berry Buckle from The Berry Basket

It was so good that we’re thinking of making some right now! The recipe calls for strawberry ice cream as a topper instead of the Pepperberry Sorbet, but we bet it’ll still be delicious! There are three components for this recipe, so set aside some time to bake.
