12 Essential Strawberry Desserts to Make All Summer Long

Strawberry Trifle

We’re stepping into strawberry season, and I’ve got big plans. I’ll start by eating plenty of berries straight from the basket, staining my fingertips along the way. But what I look forward to more than anything else is transforming those sweet, ruby-red gems into summery desserts.

Because while juicy, ripe strawberries are great on their own, they are even better when baked into pies and crisps, partnered with tart rhubarb , and blitzed into ice cream. There are an endless number of ways to turn strawberries into dessert, but when you want a guaranteed hit, these are the must-make strawberry desserts that never disappoint.

Red Wine Strawberries
Dessert doesn't get much simpler than this, you guys. Ripe berries don't need much help, but soak them in some red wine and add a dollop of whipped cream, and they're better than you can even imagine.

Strawberry-Rhubarb Crisp
Because pulling off a crisp version of this classic combo is way easier than a pie. Baked strawberries and rhubarb strike the perfect balance of tart and sweet, and when you add a crispy, buttery oat topping and vanilla ice cream, you've got an unstoppable dessert.

3-Ingredient Strawberry Nice Cream
Jut three ingredients (fresh strawberries, banana, and non-dairy milk) stand between you and this refreshing sweet treat. You'll want to have a spoon handy for this one when you blitz it together in the food processor, because you won't be able to resist dipping it in for a taste.

Vegan Strawberry Swirl Ice Cream
Summer is simply not complete without at least one batch of strawberry ice cream, and this is the version I keep coming back to year after year. The recipe calls for vanilla bean, although a couple teaspoons of vanilla extract will work just fine.
