Strawberries and Vanilla

It’s strawberry season – that wonderful time of the year – so make sure to use as much of them while you can.
By Tamara Novacoviç

I’m always about creamy desserts, especially during spring and summer.  These two creams can be easily made into a cake, just add some sponge layers in between. You can also make a trifle out of it by adding crushed cookies. This basic vanilla pastry cream gets along perfectly with most fruits. And don’t buy powdered mixture, cook your own pastry cream because it’s way better and it’s not that difficult.

It’s strawberry season, that wonderful time of the year so make sure to use as much of them while you can. It’s even better if you can get hold of wild strawberries, which are tiny and delicate, but have more intense flavor and smell beautiful. They’re my favorite and remind me of my childhood.
