Strawberries are delicious on their own, but really shine in these decadent desserts.
Oct 23, 2023 5:00amYes, fresh strawberries are delicious on their own but if you've got a punnet or two too many and you're wondering what to make with strawberries before they go bad, then we have the answer: strawberry dessert recipes. From Johnathan Barthelmess's strawberry take on galaktoboureko to Black Star Pastry's famous strawberry and watermelon cake, these strawberry desserts are perfect for strawberry season (or any time of year, for that matter).
Go old-school and opt for easy strawberry recipes such as our Victoria sponge cake, packed with cream and sweet strawberries, or our classic Eton Mess recipe. If you're after more petite desserts that can be devoured alone, we have our fluffy strawberry pistachio cakes and Curtis Stone's tres leches ices with smashed strawberry recipe. Looking for fresh strawberry recipes? Try our cherry, raspberry, and strawberry salad, served with raspberry sorbet. Serve some (or all) of these sensational strawberry desserts with whipped cream or a scoop of sweet vanilla ice cream. These recipes with strawberries are sure to delight at all manner of parties, afternoon teas and bake sales.
Here are our best strawberry recipes to whip up for something sweet, stat.
