Who can resist a bright, sweet strawberry dessert? These irresistible strawberry dessert recipes will delight your guests all year long.

Sweet, colorful strawberries are just made for dessert. Fortunately for us, strawberries are now available year-round, fresh or frozen. I especially love and appreciate that it’s easier than ever to enjoy local strawberries even in the heart of snowy winter—thank you, greenhouses! But I think we all have to admit: nothing beats a warm, sun-drenched, freshly picked strawberry. It’s a little taste of heaven!

Apart from devouring baskets of fresh strawberries, I can’t think of a better way to celebrate nature’s sweetest berry than to make a spectacular dessert that showcases them! To get us all inspired, I’ve collected 30 stunning strawberry dessert recipes from recipe creators around the globe (including a few of my own!) into one spot. The hardest part for you will be choosing which one to make first!

You’ll find a little bit of everything here: for the bakers, there are towering strawberry cakes fit for any occasion where you need a showstopper dessert. Those who enjoy bite-sized strawberry treats will love dainty strawberry lemonade cupcakes or strawberry shortbread cookies. 

If pie is more your speed (and I love a juicy berry pie), there are toothsome strawberry galettes, pies, and tarts to indulge in.

When you need an elegant, no-bake strawberry dessert, try a trifle, strawberry pudding, or mousse. Or go casual with rustic strawberry crisp or strawberry brownies or bars—perfect for an afternoon coffee break.

To freshen up those sweltering summer days, a scoop of homemade strawberry gelato or sorbet is sure to be just what you need! And, please tell me: is it really summer if you haven’t made a classic strawberry shortcake?

I hope you’ll love this collection of 30 strawberry desserts as much as I do. Happy berry baking!
