Are you looking for easy solar oven dessert recipes? Then you have come to the right place.
Dessert is the final touch that makes a perfect meal even better. It’s the “icing on the cake” so to speak. Luckily, desserts are really easy to cook in a solar oven. Some box ovens, like the All-American Sun Oven and the Solavore Sport, reach temperatures as high – or almost as high – as the electric oven in my kitchen. With that high of a temperature, the time it takes to bake in a solar oven is about the same time as in the kitchen.
But just like in the kitchen, it will take a little bit longer to bake a dessert in a solar cooker that is heated to a lower temperature – including the Sun Oven and the Sport – if they are not kept at the optimum temperature by keeping them focused into the sun. Nonetheless, whether it takes an hour or two hours to cook, at the end of the day, you still will have a easy solar oven dessert to feed to your family.
Helpful Things to Remember About Solar Oven Dessert Recipes
- Sometimes a dessert looks done – but it really isn’t . Looks can be deceiving. If in doubt, just to be on the safe side, let it cook just a few minutes longer. You would automatically do this in the kitchen. The solar kitchen is no different.
- Most of us like our food and desserts (and bread) to have a nice golden brown glow on the top. Leaving the food in longer allows for the sugar in the dessert (or bread) to brown.
- In general, food does not burn in a solar oven. However, food with a high sugar content, like a dessert, will burn if left too long. Nonetheless, there is still a long cooking window. So even if foods look done, it is still safe to leave them to cook just a little bit longer. Just how long is really up to your judgement and how you like your food to look.
