Servings: 12 muffins Prep Time: 15 minutes | Cook Time: 15 minutes Total Time: 30 minutes 


You will need

• 2 cups all-purpose flour
• 1 cup granulated sugar
• 1 ½ tsp baking powder
• ¼ tsp salt
• 1 cup milk 
• ¼ cup unsalted butter - melted 
• 1 large egg 
• 1 ½ tsp vanilla extract 
• 1 cup fresh strawberries - chopped 
• ¼ cup strawberry jam



Streusel ingredients: 

• ⅓ cup all-purpose flour 
• ⅓ cup granulated sugar
• 2 tbsp unsalted butter - melted 
• ¼ cup crushed freeze-dried strawberries 



Preheat the oven to 350°F. Line a 12-cup muffin pan with paper liners. 



In a large mixing bowl, whisk together the melted butter and granulated sugar. 



Add the egg, milk, and vanilla extract. Stir until well combined. 



In a separate bowl, whisk together the flour, baking powder, and salt. Gradually add the dry ingredients to the wet ingredients, folding until just combined. Do not overmix. 



Gently fold in the chopped strawberries and strawberry jam. 


Divide the batter evenly among the prepared muffin cups, filling each about ⅔ full. 



Now we will make the streusel topping! In a small bowl, mix the flour and sugar. Stir in the melted butter until the mixture forms a crumbly texture. 



Fold in the crushed freeze-dried strawberries. 



Sprinkle the streusel topping evenly over each muffin. Bake for 13 to 15 minutes, or until the tops are golden and a toothpick inserted into the center comes out clean. 



Allow muffins to cool in the pan for 5 minutes, then transfer to a wire rack to cool completely.

You will need
• Cooking spray or butter and pastry brush 
• 5 sheets of phyllo dough
• ½ pound strawberries
• 1 tbsp sugar
• Whipped cream 


First preheat the oven to 325 degrees. Grease a mini muffin pan. Arrange a phyllo dough sheet on a large cutting board and lightly spray with cooking spray or use butter and a pastry brush. Layer another sheet of phyllo dough on top of that, and repeat these steps until you have 5 layers.

Serves- 20 Prep time- 15 minutes Cook time- 20 minutes Total time- 35 minutes

These look complex but are so quick and easy to make - plus look stunning on the party table!

You could even swap the filling out for cherry, blueberry... there are so many options! Strawberry pie is one of the best desserts, but making it into a mini version is even better! 

PS tips and tricks! 
• Store in a airtight container in the fridge for 3-4 days 

• No parchment paper? Spray the baking sheet with nonstick cooking spray. You can pick up the rest of the pie crust (after cutting the cookies out of it) and roll it into a ball and flatten it out with a rolling pin to cut extra cookies out! 

• No cookie cutter? Use a cup that’s around about the same size!  

You will need
• 4 store bought refrigerated pie crusts 
• A round shaped cookie cutter
 21 oz can of strawberry pie filling or strawberry jam
• 1 egg 
• 1 tbsp of white sanding sugar 

First preheat the oven to 350° and line a large baking sheet with parchment paper. Roll the pie crust out on a flat surface and use a cookie cutter to cut out circles out of 2 of the pie crust rolls. 


Add the cut out cookies to the baking sheet. Add 1-2 tablespoons of the strawberry filling to the middle of each cookie. Make sure to leave a tiny bit of pie crust around the strawberry filling. Unroll the last two pie crusts and use a pizza cutter or knife to make small strips. 


In a small bowl add the egg and stir, brush the beaten egg around the edge of the cut out pie crust, making sure there’s no strawberry filling on the edges. Take the pie crust strips and make a lattice pattern on the cookie, pressing the edges down on the egg washed sides. Do this step carefully so the strips don’t break. 


Once you have all the strips placed correctly use the same cookie cutter and place over the cookies so the edges come clean from the lattice. Brush the beaten egg over top of each cookie once again and then sprinkle with the sanding sugar. 


Bake in the oven for 20-25 minutes or until the tops of golden brown. Let cool completely and then serve and enjoy!
