My Roasted Strawberries recipe is sweet, and delicious with a concentrated strawberry flavor perfect on pound cake, toast, milkshakes, and shortcake. I use powdered sugar and a little orange liqueur to really add a punch to the syrup. By roasting strawberries, you remove a lot of the moisture which allows them to be frozen in ice cream and milkshakes remaining soft and pleasant, not hard bits of ice. This is a simple 3 ingredient recipe that takes no time and always has great results.

My Roasted Strawberries recipe came about for me when I found myself with 8 pounds more than what we needed for the hotels July 4^th picnic buffet. They were perfect, ripe and were going to go bad if we didn’t figure something to do with them. So, I roasted a couple of pounds to experiment with a roasted strawberry ice cream and it turned out amazing. Roasting allows the strawberries to remain soft even when frozen instead of the usual strawberry ice cream that they are like little crunchy chunks of ice.
