Strawberries are the season's most anticipated fruit for a good reason. The juicy red berry is perfect for creating the most satisfyingly simple sweet treats, such as flaky pies, creamy milkshakes, and fluffy cakes. This small, but versatile, berry is also an ideal snack all on its own and plays as well with savory foods as it does sweet. So when you find yourself with an abundance of ripe strawberries on your hands, remember that there is no limit to the tasty potential they hold. Here are some of our favorite strawberry recipes to provide you with inspiration all season long.

Easy Strawberry Cobbler

Credit: Aaron Kirk; Prop Styling: Christina Daley; Food Styling: Emily Nabors Hall

Easy Strawberry Cobbler Recipe

Just because it’s easy doesn’t mean this biscuit-topped strawberry cobbler won’t impress. In fact, bursting with vibrant berry flavor (regardless of how perfectly ripe your strawberries may or may not be), we can just about guarantee that it will. We keep this stunning berry dessert stunningly simple by using Bisquick baking mix for the topping. The bottoms of each fluffy biscuit soaks up luscious juices from the berries while the tops bake up golden-crisp. And sprinkling the cobbler’s Bisquick topping with a bit of turibinado sugar is a pro’s touch for adding visual and textural interest. Serve with whipped cream or vanilla ice cream for the full cobbler experience.

Strawberry and Prosecco-Glazed Granola Coffee Cake

Credit: Photo by Daniel Agee

Strawberry and Prosecco-Glazed Granola Coffee Cake Recipe

We’re all for clinking glasses of Prosecco at brunch, but we’re also pretty big fans of drizzling it over coffee cake. Part breakfast, part dessert, part cocktail coffeecake, this recipe is absolutely what you need to make when hosting a friend’s birthday brunch. I mean, just look at the color of the strawberry glaze—isn’t that alone cause to celebrate?

Showstopping as the strawberry-Prosecco glaze is, allow me to also direct your attention to the center of this cake: There’s granola in the streusel swirl. Because as delightful as brown sugar, butter, and cardamom taste mashed together, a little nutty crunch in the middle of the soft cake takes this dish to the next level.

Shortcut Strawberry Cheesecake Sweet Rolls

Shortcut Strawberry Cheesecake Sweet Rolls Recipe

These shortcut sweet rolls are the perfect special treat for a weekend brunch, but the truly beautiful thing about them is that they’re actually simple/speedy enough to whip up on a weekday morning—all thanks to a handy secret ingredient: canned crescent dough. That said, there’s no need to tell your guests just how easy these delightfully buttery-tender sweet rolls are to make, because once they’re all dressed up, no one would ever guess you didn’t make them completely from scratch. By skipping on making your own yeasted cinnamon bun dough, you allow yourself time to make a phenomenal filling. Each roll is filled with a rich strawberry cheesecake mixture, featuring fresh strawberries, store-bought strawberry cream cheese amped up with a little powdered sugar and vanilla, and graham cracker crumbs (a pro baker’s trick for adding depth and a fantastic texture). All that’s left to do is drizzle on a simple 2-ingredient glaze, and you have a wow-worthy skillet of fresh sweet rolls, ready to rock.

Strawberry Ice Cream Pie with Pretzel Crust

Credit: Emma Crist; Styling: Darcy Lenz

Strawberry Ice Cream Pie with Pretzel Crust Recipe

This summer-centric pie makes is a so-easy, yet impressive, cool and creamy treat. Use your favorite brand of prepared strawberry ice cream or fill the crust using your your best homemade recipe. Set your ice cream out at room temperature about 25 to 30 minutes before you plan to start scooping it into the cooled crust so that it has enough time to soften. This recipe would work equally well using raspberry sorbet and a blend of fresh raspberries and strawberries on top.

Strawberry Cake with Strawberry Buttercream Frosting

Credit: Kelsey Hansen; Food Styling: Emily Nabors Hall; Prop Styling: Audrey Davis

Strawberry Cake with Strawberry Buttercream Frosting Recipe

This vibrant pink layer cake is pure strawberry-on-strawberry goodness, with fresh strawberries going into the cake batter and frosting. One thing to note about the buttercream frosting—it is absolutely bursting with berry flavor, but is easily over-mixed. If you find you've broken your emulsion when whipping this frosting up, no worries. You can simply mix in a little more powdered sugar to restore it. That said, we love how purely strawberry-forward the flavor of this frosting is, so we'd advise being very light-handed when adding extra powdered sugar, as it will dilute the berry flavor. In our opinion, it's better to have a slightly broken frosting that tastes like strawberries than a perfectly pristine frosting that tastes like sugar.

La Croix Strawberry Daiquiri Recipe

Rather than a frozen strawberry daiquri, skip the blender action and lighten things up with this La Croix strawberry daiquiri. For a bright fruitiness, we used the berry flavor of La Croix, but any berry-flavored seltzer will do. For an added touch of sophistication and sweetness, rim your cocktail glass with sugar. Make a large batch and serve it at your next get-together, or throw one in your tumbler and bring it to the beach.

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.
