Eggless Strawberry Fraisier Dessert Box … You can never have enough strawberry desserts and here’s another favourite. Inspired by Fraisier, the classic French dessert, this dessert box is as simple as it is refreshing. Orange, strawberries and cream can only be delicious together, and this was no exception!
The eggless sponge flavoured with the zest of orange pairs with luscious, red strawberries to create a certain kind of magic. The flavours come together really beautifully and each spoon of the dessert is refreshing good! This dessert box will work beautifully with raspberries as well!
The cake itself is a simple sponge, one that you can whisk simply in a bowl OR if you make multiple portions like I do, whisk it in a stand mixer like my SMEG. You can find great deals for appliances like these and several more fabulous offers on CouponzGuru.
This eggless Strawberry Frasier Dessert Box is literally light as a cloud and bursting with fresh flavour, quite a refreshing start to the new year! I absolutely loved how bright and fun it turned out to be, each bite addictive good and light.
