This simple, refreshing strawberry tiramisu is a chilled Italian inspired dessert that doesn't require any baking, and can even be made without any cooking if you opt to skip the step of concentrating the fruit juice.

It's made up of a base of store-bought lady fingers (which creates a major shortcut), and they are soaked in pomegranate juice for a bright pop of flavor and rich color. After that you get a layer of fresh juicy strawberries, and atop that is a billowy sweetened cream cheese and whipped cream layer for that indulgent cheesecake taste. These layers are repeated again for a total of six decadent, perfectly paired layers.

It's a simple dessert to prepare yet it creates a captivating, decadent finish to any meal and an indulgent treat worthy of any celebration.

The BEST Milkshake Recipe!

Now that summer has arrived my family is obsessed with these strawberry milkshakes!

They couldn't be quicker and easier to make, they need just a few ingredients, and they are a shortcut semi-homemade dessert (since they use store-bought ice cream).

Not to mention they are great way to use up seasonal strawberries and you'll find them to be one of the most refreshing treats on a hot sunny day.

Simply put these are completely and utterly delicious in every way!

Possible Variations

You can make them with a variety of different ice creams or fruit, or even try them with different jam.

• Ice Cream Flavors: Try them with cheesecake ice cream, blueberry, raspberry or vanilla ice cream.
• Fruit: Make this shake with a triple berry blend (strawberries, raspberries and blueberries), or use just blueberries, or even try them with something like cherries or mangos.
• Milk/cream substitute: Instead of using both milk and cream use 3/4 cup half and half.
• Healthier milkshake: For a healthier option try using a no sugar ice cream, and use low fat milk or a low calorie dairy free milk like almond milk in place of regular milk and cream.

Viral TikTok Inspired Baked Oats Improved

Baked oats have been around for a years and became very popular from a TikTok recipe.

The difference between these and baked oatmeal is that the ingredients for baked oats are all pulverized in a blender leaving the oats ground up fine, and with baked oatmeal the oatmeal is left whole and everything is just stirred together in a mixing bowl.

Though the ingredients between the two are very similar their textures are quite different. These are more muffin-like while baked oatmeal is more like a chewy oat breakfast casserole. Both are so delicious just unique in their own way.

I tried the viral version of baked oats but felt it was a bit spongy so modified it based off what I thought would offer a better texture (less egg and banana, adding liquid, etc). And I couldn't resist adding a dab of butter, feel free to add two if you'd like for richer oats.

Try all the tasty flavor variations to discover your personal favorite! I'm still trying to pick a favorite myself because I love all of them.

Then if you want to make it a little prettier tint it with a hint of color (I like beet powder for a natural option, you don't taste).
