I love strawberries, so one of my favorite desserts growing up was Strawberry Shortcake. I love anything with cake, cream, and fruit. So naturally the first time I had a beignet, I fell in love. It came with homemade whipped cream and a caramel sauce that was to die for. The first time that I made beignets for my kids, they were literally in love. I limited them to just one, but I am pretty sure there were seconds and thirds had while I wasn’t looking.

I love being inspired by ingredients that are in season. My entire family looks forward to strawberry season. We have tried to grow strawberries without much success, thanks to some sneaky squirrels but getting them from our local farmer’s market is the best on a Saturday morning. When I heard it was National Strawberry Day I knew I had the perfect excuse to make some easy beignets to go with our favorite strawberries and cream.

How do you make Strawberries & Cream Beignets?

In a medium mixing bowl stir together sour cream, sugar, and Cool Whip until well combined and smooth. Fold in strawberries. Cover and set in the refrigerator to chill. While chilling, make beignets.

NOTE: I like to double the batch of strawberries and cream, my kids love it that much.

In a medium saucepan mix water and butter until melted. Stir in salt and flour until the batter starts to come together. Don’t worry, it will be sticky. Beat in the eggs, one at a time. Continue to beat in all 4 eggs until the batter is smooth.

In a heavy pot add oil until it is about 2- inches deep. Heat over medium-high heat until oil reaches 375 degrees. I used a heavy-bottomed skillet.

Using a cookie dough scooper or tablespoon measuring spoon, add a scoop of dough and fry it for 1-2 minutes on one side or until dough is a light golden brown then gently flip over the dough to fry the other side. Each side should take 2-3 minutes. NOTE you can fry more than one at a time, I do them in batches of 5-6.

Remove fried dough from the pan and drain off grease on a paper towel or cake cooling rack. Dust with confectioners’ sugar if desired.

Continue with remaining dough until all of the beignets are made.

Remove strawberries and cream from the refrigerator, add a scoop (or two) to the bottom of a bowl, top with 1-2 beignets, fresh strawberries, and serve.
