Crème brûlée is the perfect dessert to highlight the flavor of vanilla bean, and the strawberries act as a hidden little surprise when you crack the top.

This sneakily easy but elegant dessert comes together by dipping brownies in a chocolate glaze and then piping a whipped chocolate ganache on top.

As good as this lemon cake is, it’s the tangy icing that finishes it off perfectly. The cake holds up well in the fridge, so you can prepare it in advance.
