A light, strawberry cake topped with a delicious, crisp sugar crust. The crust forms simply by sprinkling sugar over the batter just before baking. My cake, baked in a 23 cm tin, turned out quite tall – next time I’d use a 25 cm tin so I could fit in even more strawberries
A light summer cheesecake with white chocolate and strawberry mousse, with no baking required. The whole dessert is airy, delicate and fluffy – like a strawberry milkshake or a soft strawberry mousse. Decorated with meringues and freeze-dried strawberries, though
A refreshing strawberry drink inspired by classic mango lassi. Made with buttermilk, coconut milk, and fresh strawberries – it’s light, creamy, and absolutely delicious. Perfect for a fresh start to the week!
A perfect pairing of strawberries and mango in this quick and easy dessert. The buttery oat crumble on top is irresistibly delicious! You can bake it in one larger dish or divide it into individual ramekins – either way, it’s a wonderfully comforting treat.
A light and fluffy strawberry cake now with a delicious twist: made with fewer ingredients for an even fruitier, more moist texture – and enriched with a delicate cream cheese filling swirled inside. Strawberries and cream cheese filling make a truly irresistible combination!
These soft yeast buns are made using your favourite dough for classic Viennese buchteln. While they may look different from traditional filled buns, the taste is just as wonderful. Filled with homemade vanilla custard, fresh strawberries, and topped with crumble
This strawberry cake with a light meringue topping is a summer twist on the classic polish szarlotka with meringue. Buttery pastry (both base and topping), sweet meringue foam and plenty of strawberries – the perfect afternoon treat! It’s definitely worth baking while
The best – of course – is homemade. Strawberry jam is best prepared when strawberries are at their cheapest or nearing the end of the season, when they’re at their most aromatic. This traditional recipe doesn’t use any gelling agents. Instead, the jam is slowly cooked
When summer still feels far away, frozen fruit and tropical flavours come to the rescue. This strawberry and mango smoothie is creamy, naturally sweet (no need for added sugar), and completely addictive! In strawberry season, you can use fresh fruit – just remember
A refreshing rhubarb and strawberry smoothie with the addition of banana for a perfectly creamy texture. It can also be made dairy-free using pomegranate or grape juice instead of milk. Light, nourishing, and wonderfully cooling – especially on hot days. If you’re using only fresh
Strawberries are currently at their best – and at their most affordable – so it’s the perfect time to make the most of them (and their vitamin C!). While they’re of course healthiest eaten fresh, if you’re in the mood for a simple butter cake, I can wholeheartedly recommend this recipe.
These vibrant green yoghurt cupcakes are another delicious bake made with fresh spinach. Topped with a light whipped cream frosting and fresh strawberries, they’re wonderfully moist, soft and gently citrusy. Baked in decorative (and sturdy) cupcake cases
A deliciously moist chocolate cake topped with a light strawberry mousse made from blended strawberries, finished with whipped cream and fresh fruit. The combination of airy strawberry mousse and rich chocolate is simply irresistible. Well worth making while strawberries
My children’s favourite smoothie. It tastes like strawberry ice cream, with the flavour of banana clearly noticeable. Best served well chilled – highly recommended!
An intensely chocolatey dessert made for grown-ups. This cake is baked not only without flour, but also without popular substitutes such as ground nuts – and even without butter. Only a few ingredients are needed, with the main ones being chocolate
Whenever I manage to buy fragrant, beautiful first-of-the-season local strawberries, I immediately want to make pancakes or crêpes to go with them. This time I tried the famous American pancakes recipe by Nigella Lawson — and it did not disappoint.
A fluffy, impressively risen baked pancake known in American cuisine as a Dutch Baby. It is also popular in other countries such as Germany, Austria and the Scandinavian countries, though under different names. In the UK, the closest equivalent would be the well-known
Strawberry granita – I can confidently say it’s even more delicious than the best strawberry ice cream. And lower in calories, too. While ice cream usually requires an ice cream maker or a mixer to churn and aerate the mixture, all you need to make granita
