Love this new way to enjoy a classic flavor combo! And the glaze makes such a pretty color!
ReplyDeleteOh my gosh, I just want to drink the glaze! Maybe with a dash of vodka added (I've been struggling with a toddler and a newborn all morning).

ReplyDeleteI honestly dont eat strawberry but the texture of that melted strawberry is so enticing! Great job!
ReplyDeleteThese look delicious! And also easy to make some tweaks to, depending on dietary choices. For me, personally, I would do whole wheat flour, coconut sugar, ghee instead of butter, and almond milk. I'm definitely going to try these and let you know how they come out :)
ReplyDeleteThis recipe looks delicious! I must try this for my sister. She is in love with strawberries AND lemonade!
