grilled balsamic strawberries with whipped vanilla cashew pudding

So, this might be my favorite way to eat strawberries right now! In my grilled balsamic strawberries with whipped vanilla cashew pudding dessert, I take peak-season berries and give them a deserving upgrade. They’re tossed in balsamic vinegar, olive oil, and agave or coconut nectar, then grilled until they’re jammy and caramelized. Then they get spooned over a dreamy, creamy whipped vanilla cashew pudding that’s sooo creamy you’ll think there must be lots of rich dairy in it (spoiler: there isn’t any). It somehow feels indulgent and refreshing at the same time … sweet, tangy, warm, and cool, all in one bite.
