STRAWBERRY AND SESAME SWIRL SOFT SERVE
Strawberries and cream get a double dose of sesame from tahini and halvah. The tahini adds richness, and the slightly salty halvah has a cookie-dough effect: Everyone will mine for it. Eat it quickly before it melts, ideally with extra halvah on standby.

STRAWBERRY SOUFFLé
This very light soufflé recipe, adapted from Julia Child, uses a base of syrupy fruit to flavor the egg whites, without the addition of fats or starches. And a combination of raspberries and strawberries makes it marvelously pink. This recipe is part of The New Essentials of French Cooking, a guide to definitive dishes every modern cook should master. Buy the book.

Steps:
- Remove wire racks from oven and place a baking sheet directly on oven floor. Heat oven to 425 degrees. Generously butter a 1 1/2-quart soufflé dish. Coat bottom and sides thoroughly with sugar, tapping out excess. To get the best rise, make sure there is sugar covering all of the butter on the sides of the dish.
- In a medium bowl, toss berries with 1/3 cup sugar and vinegar. Let stand for at least 30 minutes.
- Drain berries in a sieve set over a bowl, reserving juices. If less than 1/4 cup, add water to total 1/4 cup liquid.
- In a small saucepan, combine 2/3 cup sugar with berry juices. Bring to a boil over high heat, swirling occasionally, until sugar is completely dissolved. Cover pan and continue to boil until sugar reaches 235 degrees on a candy thermometer (soft ball stage), about 1 minute.
- Fold drained berries into hot syrup and bring mixture back to a boil, about 1 minute. Drain berries again, again reserving juices. Return juices to the saucepan and boil until thickened, adding any accumulated juices in the bowl of berries as you go, about 3 minutes. Remove from heat, fold in berries and lemon zest, and set aside to thicken and cool slightly.
- In the bowl of an electric mixer, beat egg whites until foamy. Add salt and cream of tartar and gradually increase speed to high. Add remaining 2 tablespoons sugar, a tablespoon at a time, and continue beating until egg whites hold stiff, glossy peaks. Immediately add berry mixture to one side of the bowl and quickly but delicately fold together. Transfer batter to prepared dish. Rub your thumb around the inside edge of the dish to create about a 1/4-inch space between the dish and the soufflé mixture.
- Transfer dish to baking sheet in the oven. Bake until soufflé is puffed and center moves only slightly when dish is shaken gently, about 10 to 12 minutes. Bake it a little less for a runnier soufflé and a little more for a firmer soufflé. Serve immediately.

STRAWBERRY DROP BISCUITS
Somewhat of a cross between a muffin top and a biscuit, these sweet breakfast treats are foolproof and easy: No rolling or cutting is required, and everything is mixed in a single bowl. They bake up craggy and crunchy on the outside, but are tender once you break them open. The heavy cream adds richness, and the additional water creates just the right amount of steam while baking to keep the biscuits light and fluffy. Salted butter works nicely here, but if you're using unsalted butter, just add 1/4 teaspoon or so of fine salt to the dry ingredients. If you don't have strawberries, feel free to swap in the same amount of fresh blueberries, raspberries or diced stone fruit.

Steps:
- Arrange an oven rack in the center of the oven. Heat the oven to 425 degrees. Line a sheet pan with parchment. Set aside.
- Whisk the flour, granulated sugar and baking powder together in a large mixing bowl. Toss the pieces of butter into the flour mixture to coat. Using a pastry cutter or your fingers, work the butter into the flour until the mixture is mealy and small pieces of pea-size butter remain.
- Add the diced strawberries and toss with a fork to combine. Make a well in the center of the mixture and add 4 tablespoons of the heavy cream and 1/4 cup water. Continue tossing with the fork until the dough is just evenly damp and shaggy, being careful not to overwork the dough too much. Add 1 to 3 teaspoons more water, as needed, if the dough is still too dry to work with.
- Drop 6 mounds of dough (each a generous 1/3 cup) onto the baking sheet, leaving at least 1 1/2 inches of space between each mound and gently padding any stray bits of dough back into place as you work. Lightly brush the tops with 1 tablespoon heavy cream and bake until deep golden brown and cooked through, about 15 minutes. Remove from the oven and transfer the biscuits to a wire rack to cool for 5 minutes.
- Add the confectioners' sugar to a small bowl, and whisk in the remaining 1 tablespoon heavy cream, adding more if needed to make a thick icing that is just thin enough to drizzle. Spoon over the warm biscuits; serve warm or at room temperature.
