A Very Strawberry Week on the Blog! ๐Ÿ“

Published 17 days agoย โ€ขย 2 min read


Hi Reader!

โ€‹

If your summer dessert lineup needs a couple more additions - and it does - this is your week. Iโ€™m leaning hard into berry season with two brand-new recipes that are absolute knockouts!

First, Iโ€™ve got a Strawberry Dump Cake that is a total game-changer. Four ingredients, five minutes of prep, and a warm, bubbly, golden-topped dessert that tastes like it came from a professional kitchen.

But we aren't stopping there. To keep things cool, Iโ€™ve also shared my new Ninja Creami Strawberry Ice Cream recipe. Itโ€™s incredibly smooth, bursting with fresh fruit, and...dare I say...better than anything youโ€™ll find at the ice cream shop!

Most dump cakes stick to a box of cake mix and canned fruit filling. This one levels it up with what I call the Triple Strawberry method: strawberry cake mix, strawberry pie filling, and fresh chopped strawberries all baked together.

๐Ÿ’ก Dump Cake Tip Whatever you do - do not stir! It's the number one instinct people have when they see dry cake mix sitting on top of the filling, but keeping those layers separate is exactly what gives you that crispy, cobbler-style crust on top.

The butter melts down through the mix as it bakes and does all the work for you. Trust the process, check it around the 30-minute mark, and pull it when the edges are bubbling and the top is golden brown. Then let it rest for 10 minutes before you dig in - it sets up as it cools and the filling thickens beautifully.

And if youโ€™ve been looking for the perfect base for your Creami, this is it. Itโ€™s rich, creamy, and uses a simple macerating technique to make sure that strawberry flavor really pops without making the ice cream icy.
