💭 Tips For Making The Best Desserts With Fresh Strawberries

1. Use ripe strawberries. They should be bright red and fragrant with no white or green tips. Fresh berries are naturally sweeter and juicier.
2. Wash and dry gently. Wash strawberries just before using to keep them from getting soggy. Pat them dry thoroughly with a paper towels before using them in your dessert.
3. Macinate for more flavor. Toss sliced strawberries with a little sugar (and optionally lemon juice) and let them sit for 15–30 minutes. This makes sweet, syrupy strawberries perfect for shortcakes, cheesecakes, or topping pound cake.
4. Chill for more flavor. Refrigerate chilled no-bake desserts (like trifles or cheesecakes) for a few hours up to overnight before serving to let the flavors meld and help set the structure.
