The perfect treat after a day of picking them.
Strawberry season is the best season if you ask us! We love the juicy red fruit so much that we even dedicated an entire week to strawberries last spring. And this year, we've got more strawberry desserts than ever to satisfy that sweet tooth. Whether you use them as a filling for summer pies, berry cobblers, or homemade muffins, strawberries will add a pop of fruity flavor to any treat. Slice them up for your favorite fruit salad, layer them in a strawberry icebox cake, or use them three ways in our very berry strawberry cupcakes. For those who love the combination of strawberries and chocolate, we've got you covered with Ree Drummond's chocolate strawberry Nutella cake!
Though peak strawberry season happens in the summer months when berries are fresh and juicy, you can also find them in the grocery store year-round, which means you can whip up strawberry recipes whenever the craving strikes! Of course, if you simply cannot get your hands on fresh strawberries, you can also try Ree's strawberries and cream scones that are bursting with strawberry flavor thanks to strawberry preserves and dried strawberries. Or, simply opt for frozen strawberries that will work well for many of these strawberry desserts—including the pound cake and the berries-and-cream popsicles. Looking for more fruit desserts? Pair your strawberry desserts on a table with peach desserts or blueberry desserts for even more berry goodness. Any of these sweets are too pretty to pass up!
