Growing your own Strawberries has gotten easier with each passing season. In this post, I share a favorite Goat Cheese and Strawberry Dessert Recipe that can be enjoyed at any time of the year.
Goat Cheese Cake and Strawberry Desserts
It seemed like a weird combination when I first put this together years ago. The goat cheese wasn’t that popular when I first made this in 2010. I think I first had goat cheese at a farm event in Pennsylvania. Today I purchase goat cheese weekly from Aldi. I hope you take advantage of the print option on this recipe below. Be sure to let me know what you think of the cheese and strawberry combo.
This recipe is super easy to prepare even after a long day of working in the garden. Let this recipe take you from Garden to Kitchen – Grab the apron friends
Inspired By Summer Strawberries to create this recipe!
Strawberries
Strawberries are another favorite in the garden and kitchen. I grow about 4 different varieties in containers year-round in my dome garden. There are so many easy ways to grow strawberries in your home and garden. I recently started growing a few new plants from root cuttings. I shared a video on my YouTube Channel.
The video is part of my Bren Haas Video Channel. Keep scrolling down … you are almost to the recipe share.

Looks yummy, Bren. Thanks for sharing … is this an old family favorite?
Joey – thank you for stopping by my recipe share. I got this recipe from a friend of mine recently and tweaked it a little to make it my own. IT was super easy and extra yummy!
Bren, now you are making me drool! I’m in love with your strawberries and holy cow (or goat!) does that cheesecake look good. mmmmmm.
When you posted your “berry patrol” photo, I was hoping you’d share some recipes for those berries! So glad you did ~ thanks! I especially like the “super easy” part!
lately my family and friends have been eating the berries quicker then I can pick them! 🙂 I hope I have enough to do at least one batch of jam this spring.
Great recipe Bren! Thanks for sharing.
Hi Bren,
How have you been? I sent some blog addresses to a friend who is thinking about starting a blog. I knew yours are always set up nicely. I gave her the link to your old blog so she could see that, and told her to click the link to get to this one. I told her it was set up very nicely, and that you had started your own website. I see you are using WordPress still. Did or do you still have to pay to have it this way?
The strawberries and dessert look beautiful, and I bet they tasted good, too.
I hope spring is going well for you!
OH Sue…. I am thrilled that you stopped by my blog not to mention shared my link with a friend! I miss all my Google Blogger followers off ot the Blogger Follow application. I know the community at Blogger uses that application. I still stop by my Google ‘desktop’ just to check out what everyone is sharing on there. WordPress doesn’t have that application. The only ‘follow’ application available for WordPress is the RSS subscription option. You know writing this to you has me thinking : maybe I need to make my RSS feed ( where you can receive emails when I post a new blog!) a little more fancy to catch the viewers eye!?! Maybe most viewers do not realize how easy and convenient the ‘Subscribe’ by Rss can be.
I appreciate you sharing my blog with your friend. You know, when I am out doing photography at greenhouse or garden shows the subject of blogging always comes up. I always share that if you are new to blogging I would go with the free services at Blogger. IF you are a little more ‘techie’ and want to get more out of your page I would use WordPress. They have all the neat add-ons like categories, separate pages, and a Media page just to name a few of the extras. Either way, I totally recommend blogging because it is a great way to learn more about the garden world.
Thank you once again for stopping by my blog. I love to talk blogging, photos and everything in between always leave me a comment!
Really appreciate you sharing this article post.Much thanks again. Really Great.
This looks so good. Love strawberries and love cheesecake. I love goat cheese, but never cook with it very much so this will be a fun adventure!
This looks wonderful, Bren! I should copy and try it . . . someday. I’m sure you’re keeping busy outdoors, too!! 🙂
