5. Chocolate-Dipped Strawberries
Dip fresh strawberries in melted chocolate and toss them with some sprinkles if you want. Then let them set until the chocolate hardens.

These are simple to make and a great treat for any occasion.
6. Strawberry Ice Cream

Puree strawberries with a bit of lemon juice and sugar, then freeze for a light and refreshing sorbet that’s perfect for hot days.
