This collection features a wide range of strawberry-flavored treats, such as cheesecakes, cocktails, and more! There’s even a recipe for strawberry salsa in here. Looking for a berry special breakfast or dessert? Let these recipes with strawberry jam help you.

Crumbly, buttery shortbread cookie plus sweet strawberry jam equals one heck of a delectable dessert! From the scrumptious strawberry jam to the shortbread crust, these bars are absolutely addictive. Don’t even try to resist them. All efforts will be futile.
2. Strawberry Cheesecake Lasagna
Traditional lasagna is awesome, but dessert lasagna is just next level. It has a crumbly graham cracker crust, smooth cheesecake filling, and a combo of fresh and jammed strawberries. It may seem like a lot of work considering it has so many components, but nope! This lasagna is so easy, you won’t even need to bake it at all! The only “cooking” you’ll do is to microwave the strawberry jam to make it easily spreadable.
3. Strawberry Thumbprint Cookies
If you’re getting a little too tired of the same chocolate chip and oatmeal cookies, get your hands on thumbprint cookies. They’re shortbread cookies with a strawberry jam center. How can you say no to that? You’ll love how the sweet, tart, and buttery flavor combination keeps the dessert from being overly sweet. The flavors are great, but so are the textures! The cookies are so crumbly, they melt in your mouth. Plus, they get a nice crunchy contrast from the sugar sprinkled on top.

It has strawberry cake at its base, strawberry cream cheese frosting in the middle, and fresh strawberries on top. This dessert is undeniably strawberry-forward. While other recipes use fresh or frozen strawberries to make a sheet cake, this one calls for strawberry jam. It has just the right amount of sweetness and consistency.
5. Strawberry Jam Cake
Here’s another recipe for a strawberry cake you’ll definitely want to bookmark. It’s a round layered vanilla cake filled and frosted with smooth and silky buttercream.
