When you think about the beginning of summer, sweet and juicy strawberries are the first thing that comes to mind. There’s something magical about the peak season flavors, and I love trying out different strawberry dessert recipes to make the most of it. The strawberries are delicious on their own, but this fruit really shines with dessert. From cakes and potato chips to frozen treats, these sweet treats are guaranteed to bring you to the state of mind for the summer.
There is something special about enjoying produce at peak times, bursting with natural sweetness and exploding with a taste that cannot be counterfeited. Whether layered on shortcake or folded into cold cream, ripe summer strawberries add a vibrant, sun-swinging touch with each bite. If you’ve also dreamed of the perfect fruit dessert, look no further.

I was away from gluten-free desserts due to the extra ingredients and strange textures.

Using coconut cream icing paired with tarts and fresh strawberries, it’s hard to believe it’s gluten-free.
