Strawberry Fool

Strawberry Fool Recipe

This simple take on a classic British dessert requires only a handful of ingredients and can be thrown together at a moment’s notice—in short, it’s one of our favorite kinds of desserts. Best of all, it doesn’t even require perfect strawberries in the fruit puree. Overripe or even bruised berries can be put to good use in this recipe. Reserve your best-looking berries for the sliced topping. And feel free to swap out the crushed butter cookies for ginger snaps, graham crackers, or chocolate wafer cookies. You’d be a fool not to try this one.

Vegan Mini Strawberry Cream Pies

Vegan Mini Strawberry Cream Pies Recipe

These adorable, fruity delights are no joke. The blush pink, creamy center is the perfect balance of sweet strawberries and coconut cream, and it's so rich and thick you'd think it were frozen soft-serve yogurt. The secret? Coconut oil and silken tofu contribute a smooth, thick texture and decadent mouthfeel. Encased by a nutty crust that has a hint of tropical flavors from macadamia nuts, these baby cream pies are the perfect warm weather treat that both vegans and non-vegans can enjoy.

Strawberry Snacking Cake with Strawberry Whipped Cream Recipe

A simple vanilla cake, accented with hints of brown sugar and spices, and topped with bright, juicy strawberries—what more could you want? This rustically elegant strawberry cake is exceptionally easy to mix up, and is delightful served with coffee or tea for breakfast. (And we all know, cake for breakfast is always a good decision.) The strawberry whipped cream adds a lovely touch of decadence to the not-overly-sweet snack cake. We suggest enjoying this cake the day it’s baked.

Strawberry-Kiwi Pavlova Recipe

Because it contains no flour, the traditional Australian pavlova is an excellent choice for a Passover dessert. It's a big, fancy meringue with a crisp surface and a soft, almost marshmallow-like interior. You can top it with any fruit you like; the classic ones are strawberries, kiwis, bananas, and passionfruit.
