These no-bake portable cheesecakes are rich and creamy and swirled with fresh strawberries and honey for sweetness–perfect for a picnic or a backyard barbecue! We’ve used some Greek yogurt to lighten up this healthy dessert……
Strawberry Nice Cream
This luscious strawberry nice cream is a wonderful healthy ice cream alternative. It’s all fruit, dairy-free, vegan and contains no added sugar, but is bursting with sweet berry flavor. And it takes just minutes to whip up this easy healthy dessert in a food processor if you freeze the fruit ahead. While you’ll get the best flavor from fresh berries, if you don’t have them on hand, feel free to use store-bought frozen fruit in this recipe. Serve the nice cream on its own or top it with more fresh berries for a refreshing summer treat……
Strawberry Poke Cake
What makes this poke cake so special? After this lightened-up cake is baked and cooled, it’s poked with holes (hence the name!) that are filled with fresh pureed strawberries thickened with gelatin to prevent the cake from getting soggy. The end result? Sweet strawberry flavor inside and out!…..
