Aphrodisiac recipes with strawberries

Strawberries: what goodness. It is said that strawberries are born from the tears shed by Venus because of the death of her beloved Adonis. The tears of the goddess, falling from Olympus to earth turned into little red hearts, the strawberries.
Not a random that it is said that strawberries are a powerful aphrodisiac. So why not take advantage of their potential in the cuisine?
We can prepare a tasty appetizer with strawberries and champagne. The procedure is very simple: get fresh strawberries, wash, dry them and put them in a bowl with one or more tablespoons of sugar.
Accompany each bite of strawberries with a sip of champagne.
For dessert, continuing the trend of strawberries, we can prepare muffins with cream and strawberries.
