Freeze-Dried Trail Desserts for Backpacking

About backpacking trail desserts

Freeze-dried desserts are a small but morale-boosting category — cobblers, mousse, brownies, and even ice cream you can eat at camp. They add minimal weight to your pack and make a nice end to a long day or a celebration meal at the summit.
