Strawberry Jello Cake
This is exactly what I look for in a summer strawberry dessert recipe! As its chef Vera says, "Strawberry Jello Cake is very light, fluffy, not too sweet and it's so easy to assemble." Vanilla sponge cake is layered with cheesecake filling and then topped with strawberry jello and fresh strawberries. Basically it looks like strawberry shortcake for jello lovers. I cannot wait to try this one!

Frozen Strawberry Lemonade
How could I forget to list lemonade along with my other summer food favorites? Well, this recipe looks like the perfect refreshing summer pairing of lemonade and strawberries—and it's frozen! As its creator Elena mentions, you could easily transform this into a cocktail by adding just a dash of rum, vodka, tequila, or wine.

Fruit Pizza with Strawberries
If you are looking for a refreshing, light, and easy dessert, here is a recipe for one I have actually tried. It is a simple fruit "pizza" with strawberries, kiwis, and blueberries in a sugary glaze. I like this dessert because it is relatively flat and not overwhelming if you are already full from eating your dinner. And again, it is super quick and easy to make!

Skillet Strawberry S'mores
Here are two summer foods I never would have thought of putting together—but the recipe looks incredible! Skip the campfire and just use a basic skillet instead; use s'more fixings along with fresh strawberries, and you end up with classic gooey goodness with a refreshing twist.

Flag Cupcakes
Here is another creative recipe for the Fourth of July. These flag cupcakes use similar ingredients to the recipe above—once again you have delicious blueberries, cream, and strawberries, but this time you add in a cupcake. These are no less artfully designed though—I love the way she has the strawberries standing up in the cream.

One of the best things about Starbucks is their seasonal beverages. If you enjoy their Strawberries & Cream Frappuccino and wish that you could make your own at home (and save $4), then you have just found the recipe of your dreams. This is fast and easy and tastes remarkably like the real thing!

Layered Jello Cups
These layered jello cups were invented as a Valentine's Day treat, but they would be perfect to serve at summer parties. I have to say, not only do they look scrumptious, but they are absolutely beautiful just from a visual perspective. All those gorgeous layers!

If you want to really blow the minds of all your guests at your next summer party, then learn how to make a "bouquet" of strawberries.

Patriotic Strawberry Trifle
I've never actually eaten a trifle before—so I didn't know what one was, perhaps because trifles are British. A trifle like this one consists of sponge cake and fruit along with some combination of jelly, custard and cream. Basically, this is another alternative way to make something resembling strawberry shortcake—and as you can see, with the blueberries it is patriotic for the Fourth of July.

Strawberry Puffcakes
This recipe was inspired by taking the idea of chocolate-dipped strawberries … and trying to interpret it as a cupcake—quite successfully I might add. These are chocolate cupcakes with a dollop of strawberry frosting. Coating the frosting is a topping of melted and cooled chocolate chips—the texture comes out a bit like a dip cone from Dairy Queen. These look beautiful and scrumptious!

Strawberry Sauce
When you need strawberry sauce, do you head out to the store to buy it, only to lament you got something loaded with corn syrup and other nastiness? This recipe will teach you how to make fresh strawberry sauce yourself with real strawberries and cane sugar. You can use this sauce as an ingredient in desserts, or you can spread it on toast and waffles. This is easily one of the most versatile recipes for summer!

Homemade Strawberry Roll-Ups
Looking at this recipe, I am zooming back to my own childhood in the 90s when fruit roll-ups were all the rage and you couldn't walk two feet without running into them. Personally, I was never a huge fan of fruit roll-ups; I liked the idea of them, but not the artificial flavors. Well, now I can make fruit roll-ups at home myself using real strawberries. How awesome is that?
