Hey Lykkers, summer is here, and you know what that means—strawberry season is in full swing!
These sweet, vibrant berries are often called the "queen of fruits" because of their bold color and perfect balance of sweet and tart flavors.
Walking by a fruit stand piled high with plump, juicy strawberries, it's hard to resist picking up a basket, right?
If you're a strawberry lover or someone who enjoys making sweet treats at home, then you're in the right place! In this article, we've got three simple yet delicious strawberry dessert recipes that you can easily whip up in your own kitchen. Let's dive into the world of strawberries and treat ourselves to some homemade goodness!
1. Strawberry Nougat
Strawberry and nougat may seem like an unusual combination, but trust us—it's a match made in heaven! The tangy sweetness of the strawberry pairs perfectly with the creamy, chewy nougat, making every bite a delightful surprise.
Ingredients:
• 10g strawberry powder
• 300g marshmallows
• 100g freeze-dried strawberries
• 50g butter
• 135g milk powder
• 200g mixed nuts
Instructions:
1. Start by melting the butter over low heat.
2. Once the butter has melted, add the marshmallows and stir continuously over low heat until fully melted.
3. Add the milk powder and strawberry powder, stirring until the milk powder is completely dissolved and there are no lumps.
4. Turn off the heat and mix in the freeze-dried strawberries and roasted mixed nuts.
5. Line a baking tray with parchment paper, then pour the mixture into the tray. Cover with more parchment paper and use a rolling pin to flatten the mixture to your desired thickness.
6. Let it cool, cut it into pieces, and enjoy!
This treat is not only delicious but also customizable. Feel free to adjust the amount of milk powder and butter to make your nougat softer or firmer. You can also swap out the nuts for your favorite dried fruits or other crunchy ingredients to create your own unique version!
2. Strawberry Tiramisu
Looking for a classic, refreshing dessert? Strawberry tiramisu is a perfect choice. It combines layers of crunchy cookies, rich cream, and juicy strawberries to create a dessert that's both light and satisfying.
Ingredients:
• 14 pieces of Oreo golden sandwich cookies
• 100g fresh strawberries

Instructions:
1. Start by separating the Oreo cookies and removing the cream filling.
2. Place the cookie pieces in a ziplock bag and crush them into small crumbs using a rolling pin.
3. Wash and hull the strawberries, then cut them into small pieces.
