Classic French Strawberry Tart (Tarte aux Fraises)
The traditional “Tarte aux Fraises” combines a buttery pastry crust with juicy ripe strawberries arranged on a layer of velvety crème pâtissière. A French bakery staple!
Strawberry Rhubarb Crisp
With a sweet tangy filling bubbling underneath a buttery oat crumble, this Strawberry Rhubarb Crisp is a snap to prepare, it doesn’t have to look perfect and it’s a delicious crowd pleaser.
Almond Milk Blanc-Manger with Honey Stewed Strawberries
A Blanc-Manger is made from milk, cream, sugar and gelatine to reach a consistency that’s milky, smooth, but just firm enough (with a gentle wobble). The creaminess of a Blanc-Manger pairs wonderfully with the chewy chunks of tangy strawberries.
Strawberry Flaugnarde
Just like a Clafoutis, this classic French dessert is a custardy baked flan nestled with seasonal fruits. It’s tender and creamy in the center, with satisfyingly puffy and chewy rims.
Strawberry Oat Bars (Carrés aux fraises)
Known as “carrés aux fraises”, these strawberry oat bars belong to the long list of baked goods the French love to whip up in the Spring and Summer. They yield a tangy homemade filling made of fresh strawberries sandwiched between a crisp and buttery oat crumble.
Strawberry Charlotte Cake
When it comes to strawberry season, it doesn’t get any more traditional than a Strawberry Charlotte Cake, in France.
Strawberry Rhubarb Galette
Easier than pie but just as delicious, this Strawberry Rhubarb Galette features a flaky all-butter crust, folded in a free form manner over a sweet filling of ripe strawberries and tangy rhubarb.

Giant Strawberry Almond Financier – A French “Financier” is a notoriously delicate little almond cake (usually bite-size), made with ground almonds and flavored with “beurre-noisette” (brown butter).
