Soft, Sweet, Succulent…Red, Regal and Ravishing…this juicy,heart shaped vibrant beauty with a gorgeous green crown on its head is no wonder called the ‘Queen of fruits’. Besides its vivacious looks the fact that it is nutrient rich and full of antioxidants and health benefits makes it even more appealing. You are right! I am talking of a ‘strawberry’.
Did you know that a Strawberry a day keeps wrinkles away 😉 Yes please! It’s that good. These super fruits are god’s gift to womankind…ok…ok…mankind too. So let’s not think any further and indulge in this inexpensively precious fruit and all its variations…just because we are worth it!
Strawberries and cream are a beautiful combination and have been relished by people all over the world. This dessert is a variation with strawberry in three forms , fresh fruit, strawberry crush and strawberry ice cream. When layered with fresh cream the sweetness is balanced wonderfully and makes for a delectable dessert…fit for the Queens….ok..ok..Kings too.
[recipe]
Strawberries and Cream
Ingredients:
- One cup fresh strawberries halved
- half a cup of bottled strawberry crush
- two scoops strawberry ice cream
- half a cup low fat fresh cream unsweetened (or less )
- a large glass
Method:
Place one third cup strawberries into the glass. Put a tablespoon of strawberry crush over them. Then a tablespoon of cream. Then half a scoop of strawberry ice cream. Build layers in the same order.

Thank you Hilda. I have been reading on the various health benefits of strawberries.”Strawberries are super fruits, bursting with powerful anti-oxidants and loads of vitamin C that will provide your skin with nourishing nutrients for healthy happy skin. Research shows that people who eat foods rich in vitamin C have fewer wrinkles and age related skin problems than those who don’t.” Even I was pleasantly surprised to know these little beauties had so much to offer.

Thank you so much for liking my post.As a matter of fact strawberries are quite good for diabetics.’According to research reported in the April 2010 issue of “The British Journal of Nutrition,” consuming strawberries and other berries may reduce the body’s overall glucose response after a meal’ You may have to however get hold of sugar free ice cream to make this dessert which is again easily available.😃🍓🍓🍓🍓🍓🍧

Strawberries are a favorite and now just coming into season. I like the smaller ones best. This looks like a very easy dessert, just the type of thing I like. The ice cream ensures my husband will love it as well. One question…what is strawberry crush? I’m not familiar with it.

I like the smaller ones too Liz. They are sweeter and tastier. This dessert being easy to fix is a blessing when you have a sudden midnight dessert craving or when you have guests at home. I usually stack up on these ingredients. Strawberry crush is nothing but a strawberry syrup with pieces of crushed strawberries in it. If you cant get hold of it you can try strawberry syrup as well 🍓🍓🍓🍓
