Strawberry, a symbol of romance and passion…
And that’s the reason why I admire strawberries so much. I didn’t grow up having strawberries as it was not a common fruit in my hometown. The first time I tasted strawberries was when I visited Ooty, a popular hill station in Tamil Nadu. I instantly fell in love with the taste, the vibrant red color and the heart shape of it.
In North America, strawberries are available in the market all year long. Even if there isn’t any fresh ones, there will be always frozen ones available. I had been to strawberry picking a couple of times, the taste of freshly picked strawberries is just phenomenal. This is one such fruit that’s always found in my refrigerator. They come in handy to garnish and enhance the appearance of any desserts.
I often make strawberry shakes, strawberry syrup to pour on pancakes or waffles, chocolate pistachio covered strawberries etc. The other day, when I made the mini black forest cakes I had some leftover whipped cream. I also had some ripe strawberries in the refrigerator. I couldn’t think of a better way to use up both. Layered strawberries and whipped cream, sprinkled with grated chocolate. This made a fantastic dessert for dinner.
