Meringue Mess With Rhubarb and Strawberries
There is a traditional English dessert called Eton Mess, attributed to Eton College, in which broken meringues, strawberries and softly whipped cream are folded together. “Mess” in this context doesn’t mean “messy,” but rather “mixture.” This recipe is a springtime mess of rhubarb and strawberries. Feel free to substitute other berries or stone fruit as they come into season. It’s an easy dish to put together, especially if you use store-bought meringues. Instructions are given here for making meringues, but it is a bit of a project and one that should not be attempted in humid weather because the meringues will not set properly. If you prefer a more refined version, spread meringues with whipped cream, spoon the fruit on top, and call it Pavlova.
Strawberries With Swedish Cream
Here’s a perfect summer recipe from “How to Cook Everything” for berries with Swedish cream — a mixture of sour and fresh cream, is akin to crème fraîche, but quicker to make (and certainly with easier-to-find ingredients). Make this with any berries you like.

Strawberry Rhubarb Pie
This rave-worthy pie showcases perfectly the classic combination of sweet strawberries with tart rhubarb. The pie dough can be made ahead and refrigerated for up to three days before rolling and filling it. The whole baked pie can be cooled completely and refrigerated overnight to help the filling set and slice more neatly. Be sure to top slices of pie with vanilla ice cream, either store-bought or homemade .
Tumble-Jumble Strawberry Tart
I first had a strawberry tart like this one more than 10 years ago at the Paris cafe La Palette, and I’ve been making my own version of it ever since. It’s simply a crust slicked with some jam and then topped with an abundance of berries; whipped cream or crème fraîche is optional. The recipe is straightforward, but the construction is genius. You bake the crust, which is both crisp and tender, to a beautiful golden color and then set it aside. (Use the scraps of dough to make cookies; sprinkle with sugar before baking.) When you’re ready for dessert, you cut and finish only as many servings as you need, ensuring that the crust will always have great texture and the berries will always be fresh and bright. You could use a store-bought crust, but there are so few components in this dessert, it’s good to make each one count.
Creamy Strawberry Moscato Torte
This dish is sort of a summery tiramisù. The creamy mascarpone and ladyfinger layers in tiramisù are a natural with strawberries. But the espresso is too overbearing to match well with the sweet fruit. What to do? Swap out the liquid. Moscato d’Asti, a lightly sweet and fizzy wine, works here. Drizzle more of the wine on just before serving. It adds just the right brightness and verve.

Strawberry Sauce
Ice cream sundaes, of course, find expression in their sauces, which provide layers of flavor and seismic contrasts in temperature and tone. To the category of vivid and bright belong fruit sauces, particularly those with a touch of acidity and a shake of vibrant color. Strawberries, raspberries, blueberries, sour cherries or pineapples — sweet, just-ripe fruits cooked briefly with sugar — will brighten vanilla's pallor (high-pectin fruits can often go it alone without cornstarch for body).
Strawberry Jam With Kiwi
Strawberry turns out to be one of the more difficult jams to make. It’s often runny. But if you just add a kiwi, packed with natural pectin, it will make any jam gel. Kiwi’s flavor is subtle, slightly tart and not at all intrusive. I add mint to the mix to bump up the candy-sweet flavor of the berries. Your jam will hold together beautifully, tasting of strawberries and sunshine and nothing more.
Strawberries in a Mango Sea
A ripe mango gives a bit when pressed, and its fragrance should be heady and sweet. To dice a mango, cut down the broad side of the fruit, slightly off center, from the stem end to the tip end. The knife should slide down against the flat side of the pit. Repeat on the other side, cutting as close to the pit as possible. Cut the flesh from the sides of the pit, following the curve of the pit. Lay each half on your cutting surface and score with the tip of your knife in a crosshatch pattern, down to — but not through — the skin. Lift the mango half, and press on the skin with your thumbs to turn it inside out. Little cubes will pop out on the other side, and you can easily cut them away from the skin. One summer I lived in Cuernavaca, Mexico, and I would gather mangoes from the ground in a park. If I had had a food processor or a blender, I would have made this every day.
Strawberry-Rhubarb Tart
Poundcake and Strawberries
A hard man I know made this dessert once out of supermarket cake and industrial strawberries, to serve small children who were maybe slightly afraid of him. They gurgled with delight when he slid bowls of it before them: the cake cut into large cubes and served beneath the macerated strawberries, with fresh whipped cream. This formed a bond between them all. In the crowd in which I run, poundcake and strawberries has since become a spring and summer standard, the cake home-made and, when we're lucky, the strawberries gathered from fields nearby. But not always. A supermarket version is a worthy substitute.
Lazy Sonker
It’s not a pie, nor is it really a cobbler (though, to some, they are one and the same). As Kim Severson reported in 2013, when she traveled to Mount Airy, N.C., to try the regional dish: “Most people seem to agree that the essential characteristics of sonkers are these: They are juicier than cobblers. They are deeper than cobblers. They used to be made in what Southern country cooks called bread pans.” This recipe, adapted from Wilma Fleming of Barney's Cafe, draws its flavor from strawberries, or pitted cherries, and is capped with a simple crust of milk, sugar, flour and salt, whisked to the consistency of pancake batter. It’s a perfect dessert for spring or summer gatherings, and best served while it’s still warm.
Strawberry Shortcake With Lemon-Pepper Syrup
Here’s a take on the perfect summer birthday cake: a buttery, vanilla-scented spongecake doused with ripe strawberries and fresh whipped cream, gilded with a spicy-tart syrup to cut the sweetness. After the cake cools, you’ll cut it into two layers and put them back together with the sliced strawberries, which have been resting in some sugar and lemon zest, your whipped cream and the lemon-pepper syrup. Then top the whole thing with more whipped cream and serve it up. It’s a couple of hours of your time, resulting in a treat appropriate to welcome anyone’s next trip around the sun.
Chamomile Strawberry Gin Daisy Cocktail
The perfect warm weather cocktail, this pretty-in-pink libation is fresh and perfectly tangy and sweet. It celebrates everything you love about the spring in one glass, and tastes great all summer, too.

Strawberry Sour Cream Streusel Cake
This strawberry streusel cake is the perfect end to a summer meal. But here's the interesting thing: Eat it slightly warm and it's dessert; let it get cold, and it makes a great coffee cake for breakfast the next day. The cake is slightly tricky to assemble, and at some point it may look like a mess. But everything comes together in the pan as it bakes, resulting in a tender, fragrant cake. This isn’t a recipe to embark on at the end of a long workday. Save it for the weekend.
Nathalie Dupree’s Liberty Cobbler
This patriotic dessert was created by Ms. Dupree, the prolific author of Southern cookbooks, in celebration of the Statue of Liberty’s 100th birthday, in 1986. It's easy to prepare, and it can be adapted for use with almost any sweet and ripe summer fruit.
