This classic strawberry shortcake recipe is a deliciously refreshing dessert! I made mine extra festive by mixing fresh basil into the simple strawberry filling.

Great recipe for strawberry shortcake
As I’ve gotten older a funny thing has happened: I’ve become less obsessed with chocolate desserts and more in love with fruit desserts – especially when that fruit is strawberries! I can enjoy chocolate cake in moderation but when it comes to strawberries I want them all. For me strawberry shortcake is the perfect not-too-sweet fresh and fruity summer treat.
So when I was leafing through my friend Gaby’s gorgeous new cookbook What’s Gaby Cooking: Everyday California Food I naturally went straight for the strawberry tart recipe. Well actually there were two recipes with strawberries that caught my eye. One was a delicious looking ricotta breakfast roll with strawberry basil jam and the second – this classic strawberry tart. There are few flavor combinations I love more than strawberries and basil so I created a bit of a mashup adding basil to these otherwise traditional strawberry tarts. A simple classic and an ode to (soon to be) summer.
Make this strawberry crumble with coconut cream or this strawberry salad this summer!
