Strawberry Flavored Desserts - Slashfood Ate (8)

Strawberry Shortcake

The first seasonal strawberries appear as early as April. The deliciously tart fruit we've come to know today originated in grassy woodlands all over Europe. Find out how to transform these red, ripe, sweet and succulent treats of nature into fabulous desserts.

Strawberries taste delicious eaten plain with a glass of champagne. But in a pie, their juiciness creates a distinctly bitter-sweet flavor that sits on the palate and seems to melt into the pie crust.

Strawberries taste especially rich when paired with milky desserts, like panna cotta and mascarpone. Or, simply add slices of strawberries to a scoop of vanilla ice cream.

This candy-like fruit easily creates a sweet distinctive jam without adding any pectin. Below are eight especially delicious strawberry desserts to try at home:

  1. Strawberry Jam with Black Pepper and Fresh Mint
  2. Strawberry Clafoutis
  3. Strawberry and Hazelnut Meringue Cake
  4. Strawberry Shortcake
  5. Nectarine Strawberry Ice Pops
  6. Strawberry Panna Cotta
  7. Mascarpone Cheesecake with Rhubarb Glaze and Chocolate-Covered Strawberries
  8. Italian Strawberry Tart
