Ingredients
Scale
Main Ingredients:
- 2 cups fresh strawberries
- 1 cup heavy cream
Sweeteners:
- 1/4 cup powdered sugar
Flavor Enhancers:
- 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
Instructions
- Meticulously rinse fresh strawberries under cool water, then delicately slice them into uniform halves or quarters, ensuring even texture and presentation.
- Select a chilled mixing bowl and whip heavy cream using an electric mixer at medium-high speed, creating soft, billowy peaks that hold their shape for approximately 3-5 minutes.
- Introduce powdered sugar and pure vanilla extract gradually into the whipped cream, continuing to blend until the mixture achieves a smooth, consistent texture with a luxurious sheen.
- Incorporate the prepared strawberry slices into the cream using gentle folding motions, distributing them evenly without deflating the delicate cream’s volume.
- Transfer the strawberry cream to a sealed container and refrigerate for a minimum of 60 minutes, allowing flavors to meld and the dessert to develop a refreshing, chilled consistency perfect for serving.
Notes
- Slice strawberries uniformly to ensure even distribution and a consistent texture throughout the cream.
- Use cold heavy cream straight from the refrigerator for faster and more stable whipping results.
- For a lighter version, substitute half the heavy cream with Greek yogurt to reduce calories and add tangy flavor.
- Consider garnishing with fresh mint leaves or a sprinkle of dark chocolate shavings to elevate the presentation and add complexity to the dessert.
