1. Strawberry Icebox Cake
This fresh Strawberry Icebox Cake features just three ingredients. All you need is sliced strawberries, Cool Whip and graham crackers. The ingredients layer in a dish then cool in the freezer. This is the perfect recipe to make in the summer, as it is very refreshing on a hot day. Strawberry icebox cake is a perfect way to use fresh strawberries and to serve a crowd!
2. Strawberry Cobbler
My Strawberry Cobbler really highlights the flavor of the fresh berries. It’s sweet and a little bit tangy, thanks to the buttermilk in the cobbler batter. I like to serve this cobbler while it is still warm with a scoop of vanilla ice cream as the perfect finishing touch.
3. No-Bake Strawberry Jello Pie
Everyone in my family loves this No-Bake Strawberry Jello Pie. I make this recipe at least a few times in the summer, and I have brought it to quite a few barbecues and summer parties. It’s always a big hit!
4. Strawberry Pie
While my no-bake jello pie is more creamy and fluffy, this Strawberry Pie is juicy and jiggly. My recipe will show you how to make your own homemade strawberry jello filling using fresh strawberries. The fruity pie filling is served inside a freshly baked pie crust. If you’re wondering what to do with fresh strawberries, this recipe is perfect!
5. Easy Strawberry Cake
This pretty pink Strawberry Cake is one of the best strawberry desserts you will ever make. It’s light, fluffy and super sweet. My recipe uses both fresh strawberries and strawberry Jello to brighten up a plain white cake mix. Even the frosting is made with fresh, crushed strawberries, giving the cake total strawberry flavor inside and out.
6. Crockpot Strawberry Jam
If you have a lot of extra fresh strawberries, you absolutely must make my Strawberry Jam. It’s one of the best ways to use strawberries, and this recipe is very easy to make. Plus, the jam cooks in the crockpot. So, you barely have to do anything!
7. Strawberry Scones
My strawberry scones are made with buttermilk, giving them a tangy taste to complement the sweet berries. The almond powdered sugar glaze is the perfect finishing touch. So, pour yourself a cup of hot coffee, grab a fresh strawberry scone, and get ready to have a great day!
8. Strawberry Bread
Just like strawberry scones make a great breakfast, so does Strawberry Bread. My strawberry bread is a little bit dense, and it has juicy berries in every bite. I recommend doubling this recipe and freezing one loaf. Anytime you have a craving for strawberry baked goods, you can take it out to thaw and serve!
9. Bisquick Strawberry Shortcake
Everyone loves a good, classic Strawberry Shortcake! It’s often my go-to recipe when I have a lot of fresh strawberries. This recipe uses two whole pounds of fresh strawberries. So, you know you will get plenty of berry filling.
10. Strawberry Pancakes
Make these Strawberry Pancakes for a quick, tasty breakfast. The pancakes are fluffy and soft, which complements the soft texture of the berries. Even better, you can make these pancakes in under 10 minutes. They are even doable on a busy school day morning! SYou can add syrup or whipped cream to the pancakes, but they really don’t need it. That fresh strawberry taste is perfect on its own!
11. Mini Strawberry Rhubarb Pies
This fresh strawberry recipe is a little fancier than the others. Small, individually-sized pies are pretty impressive, but they do take a little bit of time to put together. So, you’ll want to prepare in advance. However, once you bite into a perfect Strawberry Rhubarb Pie, you will see that all your effort was worth it!
12. Strawberry Shortcake Cheesecake
When you can’t choose between strawberry shortcake and cheesecake, make this Strawberry Shortcake Cheesecake, and enjoy both! The different layers in the cake combine the classic cheesecake texture with sweet and bright strawberries. It’s a dessert that will be hard to resist!

You might as well double—or even triple—this Strawberry Rhubarb Jam recipe so you can enjoy the freshness all year round. If you are new to rhubarb, get ready to fall in love. The tangy flavor mixed with the bright and sweet fresh strawberries creates an out-of-this-world spread perfect for homemade white sandwich bread, buttermilk waffles, and more.
17. Strawberry Crunch Ice Cream Cake
If you love the classic ice cream bars, you’ll adore this ice cream cake! It’s perfect for feeding a crowd. Although it’s not a fresh strawberry recipe as written, I love garnishing it with sliced berries for a pretty finishing touch.
18. Strawberry Pound Cake
I’m not sure if it is the sweet strawberry glaze or the fresh berries in every bite of cake, but this pound cake is addictively good. I make this recipe at least once a spring and my family devours every delicious bite!

Simple, sweet and perfect for strawberry season, these muffins are always a hit. I strongly suggest you double the recipe so you can have homemade strawberry muffins for more than just one morning!
