Festive strawberry wreath
This festive strawberry wreath is a spectacular dessert that requires minimal preparation. Plain or vanilla doughnuts are arranged in a circle to form a delicious base, then topped with SAVOURA strawberries (available year-round thanks to greenhouse cultivation), small crisp meringues, white chocolate shavings, and mint leaves. A homemade strawberry coulis, made with local fruit, is drizzled over
