Ingredients
Scale
Main Ingredients:
- 2 cups fresh strawberries, hulled and sliced (475 ml)
- 1 cup heavy whipping cream (240 ml)
Sweeteners and Flavor Enhancers:
- 1/4 cup powdered sugar (60 ml)
- 1 teaspoon pure vanilla extract (5 ml)
Instructions
- Rinse fresh strawberries under cool water, carefully pat dry with paper towels, and trim away green leafy tops using a sharp paring knife.
- Slice strawberries into uniform halves or quarters, ensuring consistent bite-sized pieces for even distribution.
- Select a chilled mixing bowl to prevent cream from warming too quickly during whipping process.
- Pour cold heavy cream into the bowl, adding powdered sugar and pure vanilla extract for enhanced flavor profile.
- Utilize an electric mixer set on medium-high speed, whipping the cream mixture until soft, billowy peaks form and hold their shape, approximately 3-4 minutes.
- Delicately incorporate strawberry slices into the whipped cream using a gentle folding technique to maintain the cream’s airy texture.
- Transfer the strawberries and cream mixture into serving dishes, creating elegant swirls and peaks with a spatula.
- Refrigerate the dessert for 25-35 minutes to allow flavors to harmonize and cream to set slightly.
- Before serving, optionally garnish with additional fresh strawberry slices or a light dusting of powdered sugar for visual appeal.
- Serve chilled and enjoy immediately for optimal taste and texture.
Notes
- Slice strawberries uniformly to ensure even coating and aesthetic presentation in the cream.
- Use cold heavy cream and chilled mixing bowl for faster and fluffier whipped cream texture.
- Avoid over-mixing cream to prevent turning it into butter; stop when soft peaks form.
- For dietary variations, substitute heavy cream with coconut cream or Greek yogurt for lighter options.
