If there’s one flavor that always feels like a treat around here, it’s strawberries and cream. This dessert is creamy, smooth, and just the right mix of sweet and fresh. It’s the kind of thing I like to make when we’re having family over or when everyone’s in the mood for something a little special after dinner. With that buttery crust and the bright strawberry flavor on top, it’s simple, comforting, and always disappears quickly once it hits the table.

Servings: 8-10

Ingredients:

For the Crust:

2 cups graham cracker or digestive biscuit crumbs (250g)
⅔ cup unsalted butter, melted (150g)

For the Filling:

16 oz cream cheese, softened (450g)
⅔ cup heavy cream, cold (150ml)
½ cup granulated sugar, or to taste (90–100g)
1 teaspoon vanilla extract (5ml)
1 tablespoon unflavored gelatin (10g)
1 cup diced fresh strawberries (150g)

For the Strawberry Swirl Topping:

1½ cups fresh strawberries (250–300g)
1 tablespoon granulated sugar (to taste)
1½ teaspoons unflavored gelatin (5g)

Crush the graham crackers or biscuits into fine crumbs and mix them with the melted butter. Press the mixture firmly into the bottom of an 8-inch (20 cm) springform pan to form the crust, then place it in the refrigerator to chill for 20–30 minutes.
In a large bowl, beat the cream cheese, sugar, and vanilla together until the mixture is smooth and creamy.
In a separate bowl, whip the cold heavy cream until stiff peaks form, then gently fold the whipped cream into the cream cheese mixture until fully combined.
Sprinkle the gelatin over 3 tablespoons (45 ml) of water and let it bloom. Warm it gently until dissolved, allow it to cool slightly, and then stir it into the cheesecake filling.
Fold the diced strawberries into the filling, stirring gently so the fruit is evenly distributed throughout the mixture.
To prepare the topping, blend the remaining strawberries with the sugar until smooth to create a purée.
Bloom the gelatin for the topping in 2 tablespoons (30 ml) of water. Warm it until dissolved, let it cool slightly, and stir it into the strawberry purée.
Pour the cheesecake filling over the chilled crust and smooth the top with a spatula. Carefully pour the strawberry topping over the surface.
Use a toothpick or skewer to gently swirl the topping into the filling to create a marbled effect.
Place the cheesecake in the refrigerator and chill for at least 4–6 hours, or overnight, until fully set.
Once set, garnish with fresh mint leaves if desired, slice, and serve.

Chocolate Shells:

Pinch of salt (optional)

Toppings (Optional):

The rest of the cookie crust
Mini chocolate eggs
Melted chocolate, for drizzling
Edible flowers (such as pansies or violas)

Instructions:

Unwrap the chocolate eggs. Dip a sharp knife in hot water, wipe it dry, and carefully score along the seam of each egg. Repeat this a few times until the eggs separate cleanly into halves, then set the shells aside.
In a small bowl, combine the cookie crumbs with the melted butter and stir until the mixture resembles damp sand.
Divide the crumb mixture evenly between the chocolate egg halves, pressing it down gently to create a firm crust layer.
In a mixing bowl, beat the cream cheese and powdered sugar together until smooth and creamy.
In a separate bowl, whip the cold heavy cream with the vanilla extract until stiff peaks form.
Gently fold the whipped cream into the cream cheese mixture, mixing until everything is fully combined and light.
Spoon or pipe the cheesecake filling over the cookie bases, filling each chocolate shell to the top and smoothing the surface if desired.

10. Mini Springtime Cheesecakes

When spring rolls around, I always find myself reaching for desserts that feel light, cheerful, and a little bit fun to share. These little treats are just the right size for gatherings, and they look so pretty on the table with their soft colors and creamy filling. They’re simple to make with everyday ingredients, which is always my favorite kind of recipe. When I set these out after dinner or bring them to a family get-together, they tend to disappear quickly because everyone loves having their own little dessert.

Servings: 8

Ingredients:

For the sweet short pastry shell:

4 cups (500 g) pastry flour, plus extra for dusting
1 ⅔ cups (375 g) unsalted butter, at room temperature
1 teaspoon (5 mL) salt
1 large egg yolk
2 teaspoons (10 mL) sugar
7 tablespoons (105 mL) whole milk, room temperature

For the cheesecake-style filling:

12 oz (340 g) cream cheese, softened at room temperature
4 teaspoons (20 mL) fresh lemon juice
½ cup (50 g) powdered sugar
½ cup (≈120 mL) heavy cream
1 teaspoon vanilla extract
1 drop gel food colouring of your choice
Optional: small Easter chocolate eggs or edible flowers to garnish

Instructions:

In a large mixing bowl or food processor, combine the softened butter, salt, egg yolk, sugar, and milk. Mix until the mixture is smooth and creamy.
Sift the flour and gradually add it to the butter mixture, mixing just until the dough starts to come together. If using a food processor, pulse until the dough forms a ball.
Turn the dough onto a lightly floured surface and knead gently for a minute or two until it is smooth and uniform. Shape it into a disk, wrap tightly in plastic wrap, and place it in the refrigerator to chill for at least 2 hours.
Preheat the oven to 350 °F / 180 °C and generously butter eight 4-inch tart pans.
Roll the chilled dough out on a lightly floured surface, ideally between two sheets of parchment paper, until it is about ¼-inch (6 mm) thick.
Cut circles slightly larger than the tart pans and gently press the dough into each pan, trimming away any excess from the edges.
Line each tart shell with parchment paper and fill with baking beans or rice for blind baking. Prick the dough several times with a fork, place the pans on a baking sheet, and bake for about 30 minutes until the crusts are lightly golden. Remove from the oven and allow them to cool completely on a wire rack.
In a medium bowl, beat the cream cheese, lemon juice, and powdered sugar together until smooth and creamy.
In a separate bowl, whip the heavy cream with the vanilla extract until soft peaks form, then gently fold it into the cream cheese mixture until fully combined.
Divide the filling into two or more bowls and add a drop of gel food coloring to each, stirring until you achieve soft pastel shades.
Once the tart shells have cooled completely, spoon or pipe the colored cheesecake filling into each shell, filling them almost to the top.
Place the filled tarts in the refrigerator for at least 2 hours so the filling can firm up and the flavors can come together.
Just before serving, decorate each tart with mini chocolate eggs or edible flowers for a festive Easter finish.

Bake the crusts for 5–6 minutes, just until they begin to set, then remove from the oven and allow them to cool completely.
In a large bowl, beat the cream cheese with the remaining sugar until the mixture is smooth and creamy.
Divide the filling evenly into three separate bowls.
Leave one bowl plain, tint one bowl with red gel food coloring, and tint the third bowl with blue gel food coloring. Stir each bowl until the color is evenly mixed.
Spoon the fillings into the muffin liners, layering them in the following order: white, red, then blue.
Smooth the tops gently and place the cheesecakes in the refrigerator to chill for at least 4 hours, or overnight for best results.

Servings: 18

Ingredients:

For the Donut Dough:

2 ¼ tsp (1 packet) active dry yeast
¾ cup whole milk, warm (about 110°F / 43°C)
2 tbsp sugar (for yeast activation)
2 large eggs
¼ cup sugar (separate from above)
3 tbsp unsalted butter, softened
1 tsp vanilla extract
½ tsp salt
3 ½ cups all-purpose flour (start with 3 cups, add more as needed)

For the Raspberry Cheesecake Filling:

¾ cup heavy cream, cold
8 oz cream cheese, softened
¼ cup powdered sugar
1 tsp vanilla extract
⅓ cup raspberry jam or puree (strained if seedy)

Instructions:

In a large bowl, combine the warm milk, 2 tablespoons of sugar, and the yeast. Let the mixture sit for 5–10 minutes until it becomes foamy.
Add the eggs, the remaining ¼ cup of sugar, vanilla extract, and butter to the yeast mixture. Stir until everything is well combined and smooth.
Gradually mix in the flour and salt until a soft dough begins to form.
Turn the dough onto a lightly floured surface and knead for 8–10 minutes until smooth and slightly tacky. You can also knead it in a stand mixer with a dough hook for about 5 minutes.
Place the dough in a lightly oiled bowl, cover it, and let it rise in a warm place until it doubles in size, about 1 to 1½ hours.
Roll the dough out to about ½ inch thick. Cut out rounds about 2½ to 3 inches in diameter and place them on a parchment-lined baking tray. Cover and allow them to rise again until puffy, about 45 minutes.
Heat oil to 340–350°F (170–175°C). Fry 2–3 donuts at a time, turning once, until they are deep golden brown. Remove from the oil and drain on paper towels.
While the donuts are still warm, roll them in granulated sugar to coat.
In a chilled bowl, whip the heavy cream until stiff peaks form and set it aside.
In another bowl, beat the cream cheese, powdered sugar, and vanilla extract until smooth and creamy.
Fold in the raspberry jam, and if using, the mashed raspberries.
Gently fold the whipped cream into the mixture until the filling is light and fluffy.
Refrigerate the filling for about 30 minutes so it firms up before piping it into the donuts.

Scoop and serve, then finish with the remaining biscuit crumbs and extra chopped strawberries on top.
