I don’t know about you, but for me, the juicy, ripe strawberries I can find in the stores and farmer’s markets are a spectacular treat. Where I live, this is the time of year they are in season and so for a few short weeks we have access to plump berries that, while not as mammoth as those available other times of year, are bright red through and through and actually taste like they are supposed to. Add the affordable raspberries at this time of year and you might think you had dreamed you were in a celestial berry patch!
As much as I like these berries over cereal in the morning, I especially like them for dessert. Here’s my newest discovery: sweetened Greek yogurt. I like this better than whipped cream. I look for one of those premium brands of Greek yogurt popping up in the supermarkets and buy a full-fat or 2% version (it’s yogurt! How bad could that be?) and then whisk in a few tablespoons of powdered sugar. Next come puff pastry shells, heated gently in the oven and then filled with a mixture of strawberries and raspberries and topped with a healthy dollop of yogurt. Sublime!
