Looking for a way to showcase spring strawberries at their peak in your Mother’s Day menu this year? This strawberry dumpling recipe might be just what you’ve been craving! These would be a downright decadent addition to a Mother’s Day brunch, or served topped off with a dollop of vanilla ice cream as dessert after a special dinner. Made quickly and easily with an unexpected ingredient–crescent roll dough–this recipe is one you’ll want to make all spring long!

This is a sponsored post written by me on behalf of HEB. All opinions are entirely my own.

These strawberry dumplings are filled with fresh strawberries and strawberry preserves so each and every bite is a luscious combination of caramelized dough and strawberry sweetness. And the dumplings make their own sauce as they bake, which is absolutely lovely spooned over ice cream! HEB carries everything you need for this yummy recipe, which means you can streamline shopping and focus more on what is truly important this Mother’s Day: Mom herself!

To make this strawberry dumpling recipe, you will need…

(Note: For a printable PDF version of this recipe, scroll below.)

  • 2 cans refrigerated crescent roll dough
  • 1 pound of fresh strawberries
  • HEB Organics strawberry preserves
  • Zest from one orange 
  • 1 cup butter, melted
  • 1 1/4 cups granulated sugar
  • 1/2 teaspoon ground cinnamon
  • 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
  • 1 cup (8 ounces) Natural Brew Outrageous Ginger Ale (my favorite ginger ale, hands down!)
  • Vanilla ice cream, for serving

Equipment: 9×13″ baking dish

Open the cans of crescent roll dough, and unroll each sheet, separating each one into triangles. De-stem and slice the strawberries, and set aside.

Working with one crescent roll triangle at a time, spread approximately 1/2 teaspoon of the strawberry preserves onto the wide end of the triangle, as shown.

Place 3-4 strawberry slices on top of the preserves, and then sprinkle with a small amount of the orange zest.

Tuck the outer points around the strawberries before rolling the dough into a tidy little pouch, pinching the ends to seal.

Place the rolled dumplings into a greased 9×13″ baking dish, placing four dumplings in each row, as shown.

Repeat this process with the remaining dough until you have completed 16 dumplings. This recipe is a terrific way to get kids involved in the kitchen, as it lends itself so well to being done in an assembly line fashion!

Combine the butter, sugar, cinnamon and vanilla extract in a medium bowl. Pour evenly over the dumplings in the pan.

Now, measure out 1 cup of ginger ale, and pour the liquid evenly over all layers. (It sounds crazy, but this is one of the secrets for making this recipe so delicious!)

Place pan in a preheated 350-degree oven and bake for 40-45 minutes, or until browned and bubbly. Remove pan from oven and cool at least 15 minutes before serving.

I vividly remember the first Mother’s Day meal I ever hosted. It was just after my husband and I were married, and we hosted both sets of our parents in our home. I was so nervous about the meal, meticulously planning every detail to make both of our mothers feel extra special that day. I served little miniature strawberry cakes with vanilla ice cream for dessert. To me, strawberries and Mother’s Day always go hand-in-hand!
