Does any fruit say summer quite like strawberries? These 19 strawberry desserts will help you make the most of the season of fresh berries!
Strawberry season is nearly upon us and I can hardly wait to get my hands on those perfectly sweet ruby red berries and make some amazing strawberry desserts. The first couple months of summer are perfect for taking a trip to a farm with pick-your-own strawberries. It’s the perfect weekend outing with kids for frolicking through the rows of plants followed by bringing your little treasures home to make some amazing desserts (and sampling a few sweet berries along the way).

Classic, white cake, with a big messy pile of perfect strawberries resting on passion fruit buttercream. It is super easy to put together, but looks like sunshine and happiness, so no one will care that you didn't have to work that hard.
I love strawberries, but they are a bit too sweet and jammy on their own in a pie. The marriage of rhubarb and strawberries is perfection, because sometimes opposites attract.
Fresh, local strawberries need very little to become a spectacular dessert, so I kept thing simple for this strawberry shortcake. I used my son's signature scone recipe for the "shortcake" and it worked perfectly.
I stock my freezer with these delicious strawberry hand pies for a fast and easy treat. The pies are sweet and just a little tart, making them perfect little homemade breakfast pastries
Victoria sponge cake deliciously light thanks to "self-raising" flour, a common ingredient in the UK, which contains baking powder and salt in the mix. The traditional filling is whipped cream and jam with a dusting of confectioners' sugar. I added some strawberries for flavor, texture, and decoration along with some edible flowers.
My version of no-bake strawberry cheesecake is made with nothing but fresh sweet strawberries, cream cheese, real whipped cream, and just the slightest bit of gelatin to keep it standing tall until you bite into it, then it melts in your mouth. No oven required.
This homemade jello dessert is nothing but pure, ripe, sweet strawberries pureed and set with a bit of gelatin in a fun mold. A bowl of perfect strawberries and cream is nice, but when you present this regal dessert, it will take anyone's breath away.
There is really nothing better than the combo of sweet berries and tart rhubarb. This simple strawberry rhubarb crips combines the two flavors perfectly.
Crêpes make a great breakfast for a special occasion, and double as a wonderful dessert. For these, I folded lightly sweetened whipped cream into soft chèvre as the filling. I roasted strawberries in balsamic vinegar and quickly cooked the rhubarb in sugar and vanilla.
A strawberry Charlotte Royale is a fun recipe if you are looking for something a little different to try. This recipe features Grand Marnier Bavarian Cream and is a regal looking dessert. It isn't as hard to make as it may look, but it does require a little planning ahead, so make sure you prepare accordingly.
This Strawberry Rhubarb Fool Cheesecake was a happy mistake. You know how they say you learn from your failures? Well, I was going for a tourteau fromage and it went wrong in a big way.
The biscuits on this cobbler are made with cheddar cheese for a little sharpness! Blueberries, strawberries, fresh ginger and lemon zest topped it with my sticky biscuit dough. You'd never know this recipe was actually an accident.
