Berry

Using frozen berries in desserts is a clever way to add flavor and vibrant color in colder months. Choose a mild honey, such as clover or orange blossom, to let the fruits shine.

Parchment paper is a lifesaver when making this rustic tart. Use it when rolling out the tender, delicate crust (it’ll keep it from sticking), then use it to fold over the edges of the galette.

This recipe proves that streusel makes everything better.

Once in a while in the Test Kitchen, there’s a dish that we can’t get enough of. This simple, layered dessert is so good, we fought over the last bite.

Don't get us wrong: We love all strawberries equally. But there's a huge variety of fruit, from jam-worthy Seascapes to cream-ready Tristars--all included in this guide

Fragrant, juicy, and perfectly ripe, strawberries are gloriously in season right now. Yvette Van Boven works them into frothy drinks, tender biscuits, and even a bright summer salad

If you have a metal baking pan, use it; it will chill the mixture faster than a glass one. And remove the granita from the freezer when you scrape it--too much cold air will escape if you do this while the door's hanging open.

Aperol is similar to Campari but sweeter and less boozy. This recipe works with either one.

These little blueberry pies are simple to make, and thanks to their rectangular shape, you won’t end up with wasted scraps of dough. 

For the record: Sherbets may contain some dairy, unlike sorbets, which do not.

This tangy, crustless cheesecake feels light and airy thanks to the addition of beaten egg whites.

The key to a tender biscuit is to handle the dough as little as possible.

If you don't have a bunch bowl, use a big glass vase--it's nice and tall and doesn't take up too much space on your table.

"I like the fact that just three or four main ingredients can make a smashing result," says van Boven about this sweet and crunchy salad.

"I like unsweetened whipped cream on top," van Boven says of this pavlova recipe, "because the fruit is sweet enough on its own."

Banana's naturally creamy texture gives this dairy-free frozen treat its delightful consistency.

It goes without saying, but the sweeter and riper your strawberries, the better this adult slushy will taste (and look).

Tasty, and healthy, too: Coconut water is high in potassium and other electrolytes, and Flaxseeds are a good source of beneficial omega-3s.
