Get the Recipe: Strawberry Galette

Strawberry Bruschetta
No time for baking? Try grilling some of Giada De Laurentiis' sweet bruschetta instead. The buttered, browned toasts are topped with caramelized strawberries –– simple, sweet and truly ready in less than 10 minutes.

Blueberry Grumble
Laura Calder's sweet and buttery grumble topping couldn't be easier to make, but you might want to double the recipe if you’re entertaining — your guests are sure to grumble if they're denied seconds.

Grilled French Toast with Strawberries and Rosemary
Grilling strawberries in foil packets softens, rather than chars, the sweet fruit. When cooked with balsamic, orange zest and rosemary, they take on savory flavors — though they're still sweet enough to transform grilled challah slices into a French toast dessert.

Mixed Berry Cobbler
Ellie Krieger uses a minimal amount of sugar in her cobbler filling, allowing the berries' natural sweet-tart flavor to shine (and making for a lighter take on the classic dessert).

Mango-Strawberry Crumble
Sometimes sweet flavors are best balanced by tangy ones in summer fruit desserts, and sometimes sweet is meant to be doubled, as is the case with this vibrant strawberry and mango crumble. The fruits' contrasting colors and textures make for a dish that tastes as cheerfully indulgent as it appears.
Get the Recipe: Mango-Strawberry Crumble
Spiced Blueberry Jammin'
Freshly ground nutmeg and star anise add warmth to and balance the sweetness of Alton Brown's homemade blueberry jam. Try a spiced spoonful with your morning muffin or over a bowl of vanilla ice cream for dessert.

Blackberry-White Chocolate Fool with Toasted Hazelnuts
As in the traditional English recipe, Bobby Flay uses a mixture of pureed blackberries and whipped heavy cream as the base for his "fool," but he adds white chocolate and crème de cassis, a liqueur made with blackcurrants, to deliver even more decadence.
