    We all know that when summer hits, we take the party outdoors. With summer comes the need to spend less time cooking and spending more time outdoors with family and friends. 

    Cold summer appetizer has never looked so good. If you are all about the outdoors this summer and need a few ideas on what to serve at your beach party, I’ve got a list for you courtesy of Lesley Stowe Raincoast crispcotti ™.

    Lesley Stowe’s fine foods believe that good food and good friends go hand and hand. Baked in small batches, their delicious crackers elevate any occasion. It goes beyond the product itself; it’s about enjoying the occasion and all that goes with it.

    Ingredients 

    Here are some of the ingredients you'll need to make this mascarpone snack recipe:

    • Mascarpone cheese
    • Cream cheese
    • pure maple syrup + more : you can substitute with confectioner sugar or honey
    • zest of a lemon
    • Vanilla extract
    • Mixed berries: I used a combination of raspberry, strawberry, blueberry, and blackberries
    • Crackers: I used Lesley Stowe Raincoast Crispcotti ™  peach and pecan
    • Fresh mint leaves

    How to pair Lesley Stowe Raincoast Crispcotti ™ 

    Peach and Pecan

    This combination of peaches, pecans, and warm spices is brought together into each crispy bite.

    Hand-crafted and made in small batches, these crisps are the perfect additions to your favorite desserts!

    Aside from the berry flavor complimenting this Peach and Pecan Crisps so well, there are other pairings to guide you in making a perfect tasty treat. 

    Some suggested Pairings are:

    Cheese: Mascarpone

    Desserts: Vanilla Greek Yogurt, Gelato

     Fruit: Peach Preserves

    Wine: Tawny Port, Dessert Wine

    Tea: Fruity Herbal Tea, Orange Pekoe Tea

    As soon as summer is here, the first thing that comes to mind is pools and beach parties. Indeed, everyone loves to have a beach party, water sports, and delicious snacks and food. And, what better way to have a good time than with tasty snacks and appetizers.

    Summer snacks are rather tricky for many people to think, but for me, it is where you can get your creative juices out on the plate. There are so many effortless options that you can try, but they do not have to be all salty and all sweet.

    My idea for the beach or outdoor summer party snack has to be anything on crispy crackers. Crackers are so versatile and available in both savory and sweet flavors. When paired with the right ingredients, they are just perfect. I recommend trying my recipe for Cracker Crisps with Mascarpone and Fresh Berries to get you started. You will fall in love with this fresh crispy delight this summer.

     I will also be sharing a few ideas on how you can enjoy Lesley Stowe Raincoast Crispcotti ™  peach and pecan or any of Lesley Stowe Raincoast Crispcotti ™ varietal flavors. Read on to find your favorite. 

     

    Best crackers for an appetizer?

    The market is stashed with so many cracker options. And we love how a simple topping on a crunchy cracker can easily become a game-changer. If you are willing to try crackers as a base for an appetizer, we recommend some of these varieties:

    Lesley Stowe Raincoast Crisps® 

    Lesley Stowe Raincoast Oat Crisps ™ 

    Lesley Stowe Raincoast Cheese Crisps™

    Lesley Stowe Raincoast Crispcotti ™ 

     If you are looking for sweet options, I suggest trying the Lesley Stowe Raincoast Crisps® with cranberry and hazelnut crackers or the Lesley Stowe Raincoast Crispcotti ™ variety. They are utterly delicious.

    What can you put on crackers beside cheese?

    Yes, of course, there are so many options for cracker toppings besides cheese. A few of my favorite ways of eating crackers are with sweet-savory toppings like Apple bacon Jam, Crackers rolled up in prosciutto, with hummus, or Cracker Crisps with Mascarpone and fresh berries or compote.  

    What are some healthy cracker toppings?

    Indeed, there are so many options for healthy toppings on crackers. Here are a few of the Crisp cracker topping ideas that I love on both salty and sweet crackers:

     Herbed cream cheese with cucumber slices and fresh mint: 

    Cracker crisp with cucumber slices and cream

        Mascarpone with fresh berries

     Whipped cream cheese with cherry tomatoes and fresh oregano.

    Combine Cream cheese, lemon juice with zest, and honey in a bowl. In a different bowl, combine halved cherry tomatoes with a drizzle of olive oil, a pinch of salt, chopped oregano, and mint. Add a dollop of the cream cheese on the cracker crisp, spoon cherry tomatoes on top, and garnish with more oregano.

    Hummus and carrot:

    Spread a thin layer of your favorite hummus on cracker crisps, add a few slices of thin carrot slices, and a sprinkle of salt and ground black pepper.

     Vanilla Yogurt with honey-roasted grapes and apples.

    Best appetizer for an outdoor party

    For me, the appetizer should excite your taste buds for the main course. A few of my favorite outdoor party appetizers are cracker-based. There are various sweet and salty crackers in the market, and I love using them because of their crunch. If you love to entertain, you should try some of my cracker snack and appetizer ideas:

    •     Cracker crisps with Mascarpone and Berries
    •    Cracker with Cream cheese and veggies
    •    Apple bacon jam, Gruyere and Prosciutto Croccantini

    What can I do with mascarpone?

    Mascarpone is one of those versatile ingredients that are still unknown to many. It can be used in cheesecakes, topping a cracker, and even toast with Nutella. In addition, it has a loose velvety texture that can go with literally anything that uses cream cheese.

     What are outdoor snacks for hot weather?

    A few of my favorite outdoor snacks are cucumber and veggie stick with ranch dip, Cream cheese with crackers, Peach and cream bowl, mixed berry bowl, Cracker Crisps Mascarpone, and Berries, and adult fruit popsicles.
