grilled balsamic strawberries with whipped vanilla cashew pudding

by Jackie Newgent | July 19, 2026 | 1 Comment

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.

One of my all-time favorite flavor combinations is chocolate and mint. I’m not sure what took me so long to create it, but I finally developed this dark chocolate mint cream candies recipe to satisfy my craving for that dynamic duo. You’ll likely notice that it’s inspired by Junior Mints and York Peppermint Patties. Of course, I think these hand-crafted candies are better than both. Let me know what you think!
