Fantastic dessert – strawberry galettes with almond cream

I don’t know about you but I adore strawberry desserts. As soon as the berry season starts, I take best advantage of it. Great ladies from Make My Cake Patisserie shared with me a recipe of perfect summer dessert. This dessert, strawberry galettes will almond cream, will for sure be a real gem of your summer dessert menu. And almond cream gives it a nice flavour and taste.

It’s not a secret at all that everyone is crazy about strawberry desserts. Ask any confectioner. And, meanwhile summer is in full swing, I generously share with you a handful of sweet recipes that I had once published on my website: Strawberry kiss from Ruslan Vycherov, strawberry gazpacho from Jan Nguyen and, of course, strawberry cheesecake from the same fairies – Anna Bahonko and Victoria Gladchenko

I also have in reserve another cool strawberry recipe – Turkish delight from James Roy Oakley.

There is so much strawberry everywhere, and you are already jumping into your shoes and running to get a few kilos of these sweet berries.
