Strawberry Cream Cake

Spring is here, Easter is around the corner, and there's nothing better for spring fever than strawberries for dessert! Here's a list of my best strawberry desserts for Easter brunch, or anytime!

Strawberry Cheesecake - New York Style Strawberry Cheesecake is baked on a sweet graham cracker crust, and topped with fresh juicy strawberries. This over-the-top ultra creamy cheesecake is a perfect spring time dessert!

Strawberry Cheesecake Muffins - Made with the best of both worlds - strawberries AND cheesecake - these muffins taste more like cupcakes than breakfast pastries!  Too much of a good thing is simply wonderful!

Strawberry Cheesecake Parfaits - Strawberry Cheesecake in a glass! Luscious, ripe juicy strawberries, fluffy cream cheese & ricotta filling & Nilla Vanilla Wafers all layered in pretty parfait glasses. Top them off with whipped topping and sliced almonds, and you have a gorgeous dessert for your next brunch!

Strawberry Fool - April Fools! This unbelievably easy dessert is made with just three ingredients - strawberries, sugar and whipped cream! Fool your guests into thinking you slaved all day on this lighter-than-air, fluffy Strawberry Fool!

Strawberry Cream Cake - A Dorie Greenspan dessert from, Baking: From My Home To Yours. Luscious vanilla cake filled with fluffy cream cheese filling and fresh strawberries, all decorated with freshly whipped cream. A beautiful cake for the Easter table!

Strawberry Shortcake - Homemade buttermilk biscuits are split in half, layered with sweetened whipped cream and fresh, juicy strawberries. Topped with more whipped cream and a chocolate covered strawberry, this spring time Strawberry Shortcake is served!

Strawberry Muffins - Made with my favorite Blueberry Muffin Recipe, these strawberry muffins are chock full of fresh strawberries and topped with brown sugar streusel for an easy Easter brunch!

Strawberry Mousse - Fill a flaky pie crust with the fluffiest strawberry mousse, top with whipped cream and garnish with white chocolate curls. Use this light and fluffy strawberry mousse as a filling between layers of homemade vanilla pound cake and decorate with buttercream frosting. Spoon into dainty glass parfait dishes, layer with whipped cream and garnish with white chocolate curls and a whole strawberry. You can even pipe it into tender cream puff shells and sprinkle with powdered sugar!

Fresh Strawberry Tart - Another Dorie Greenspan recipe, this strawberry tart is made with a sweet shortbread crust, filled with strawberry jam and fresh strawberries. Top it all off with fresh whipped cream, or serve with a scoop of vanilla ice cream!

Chocolate Covered Strawberries - This quick & easy dessert is also the most elegant & extravagant to serve to your guests! Melt some Ghirardelli chocolate and dip some strawberries! That's it! Get ready for the oohs and aahs!
