One of the most appealing aspects of this dessert is its reliance on seasonal ingredients, particularly strawberries. When strawberries are in season, they’re at their peak ripeness, bursting with juicy sweetness and vibrant flavor. Using fresh strawberries elevates the dessert from ordinary to extraordinary, bringing a taste of summer to your table. Plus, seasonal ingredients often provide better flavor and nutritional benefits, making them a smart choice for any recipe.
