One of my favorite things about spring and summer is all the fresh berries that are available. We love eating fresh berries plain, but we also love using them in fun desserts and treats.
Today I thought I would share a few of our favorite ways to eat strawberries.
Strawberry Pie anyone? This pie is so good and is a favorite in our family.
Cold Oven Pound Cake with strawberries is a great alternative to strawberry shortcake. It is an old fashioned type cake that we loved. ( I really miss this cake and am going to try a gluten free version soon.)
Strawberry Cheesecake Milkshakes are perfect for a hot summer day.
Strawberry Cobbler is a recipe I tried for the first time a few years ago and love it. If you are looking for something different you should try this Strawberry Cobbler. It is so good!
And Strawberry Mousse Pudding, so easy and yet so good.

Cheesecake Stuffed Strawberries
Source: The Sweets Life
Ingredients:
1 lb large strawberries
1 (8 ounce) package cream cheese, softened
3-4 Tablespoons powdered sugar
1 teaspoon vanilla extract
1/4 – 1/2 cup graham cracker crumbs
Instructions:
1. Rinse strawberries and cut around the top of the strawberry. Remove the top and clean out with a paring knife, if necessary (some of them are hollow already. Prep all of the strawberries and set aside.
2. In a mixing bowl, beat cream cheese, powdered sugar, and vanilla until creamy. Add cream cheese mix to a piping bag or Ziploc with the corner snipped off. Fill the strawberries with cheesecake mixture.
3. Once strawberries are filled, sprinkle or dip the tops with graham cracker crumbs. If not serving immediately, refrigerate until serving.
That sounds really good! Strawberries and cream cheese go together so well together.
Over Angel Food cake!
I agree, I love berries over angel food cake.
I love fresh strawberries plain after washing, or dip them in a small amount of stevia if they’re tart. It’s sweet like sugar, but not so bad.
Though I really love them plain. Yummy!
