Ingredients
Scale
Main Ingredients:
- 2 cups fresh strawberries, hulled and sliced
- 1 cup heavy whipping cream
Sweeteners:
- 2 tablespoons powdered sugar
Flavor Enhancers:
- 1 teaspoon pure vanilla extract
Instructions
- Thoroughly rinse fresh strawberries under cold running water, carefully remove stems, and slice into delicate, uniform pieces.
- Select a chilled mixing bowl and pour in heavy whipping cream, then incorporate powdered sugar and pure vanilla extract.
- Whip the cream mixture using an electric mixer at medium-high speed until soft, billowy peaks develop, approximately 3-4 minutes.
- Delicately integrate sliced strawberries into the whipped cream using gentle folding motions with a silicone spatula to maintain the cream’s airy texture.
- Transfer the strawberry cream mixture into a sealed container and refrigerate for 25-35 minutes, allowing flavors to harmonize and cream to set.
- Serve the chilled dessert in elegant glass bowls or decorative serving dishes, optionally adorning with additional fresh strawberry slices or fragrant mint leaves for visual appeal.
Notes
- Choose ripe, bright red strawberries for the most vibrant flavor and natural sweetness.
- Chill your mixing bowl and whisk beforehand to help the cream whip faster and achieve fluffier peaks.
- For a lighter version, substitute heavy cream with Greek yogurt or coconut cream for dietary alternatives.
- Enhance the dessert’s presentation by layering in parfait glasses or using decorative serving dishes for an elegant touch.
