One of the best parts of summer is all the fresh fruits and veggies available. My favorites are strawberries and peaches.
A lot of times, my kids (and I- I’m totally guilty, too) will just eat them plain, pretty much as soon as they’re home and washed, someone is gobbling them up. But, I like to cook and bake with fresh ingredients whenever possible, so it seems like a shame not to use some of these fruits in a summer dessert.
Here are 15 strawberry dessert ideas. Most are pretty easy dessert ideas, which goes right along with summertime- you could even have your kids make most of these(with supervision as needed, of course). Quite a few are no-bake, so if you hate turning on the oven in the summer, there are still lots of options for you to make as a summer treat for your family or to take to a picnic. I plan on using the easy strawberry sorbet in a summer drink recipe that I’ll share soon. You could sub in fresh peaches in quite a few of these recipes as well, but to keep this simple (and because you’re probably reading this because it’s strawberry recipes you want), I won’t go too far down the peaches trail for now.
Let me know if you give any of these a try!
