Poetry and music are very good friends. Like mommies and daddies and strawberries and cream – they go together.

Happy Strawberry Cream Pie Day! The mixing of berries and cream for a sweet, tangy, creamy flavor has been around for a very long time. The strawberry was first bred in France by one monsieur Amédée-François Frézier in 1714.
Strawberries and cream became popular in what would become the United States and one of founding father James Madison’s favorite desserts. A few decades later, the nation declared independence. Coincidence? Most likely yes, but we’ve put together this list of delicious strawberry and cream recipes for all your sweet, tangy needs. As Amédée-François Frézier would say: Bon Appetit!

Philipp Ertl‘s 3-Ingredient Cotton Candy Strawberry Ice Cream has only three ingredients! No churning is required, it will stay light, just take it out of the freezer and enjoy strawberry goodness.

Normally you would throw away the bean water but now you’re using it to make something super light and deliciously refreshing.
