Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 450 grams fresh strawberries
- 2 tablespoons granulated sugar
- 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
- 240 milliliters heavy whipping cream
- 2 tablespoons powdered sugar
- 4 leaves fresh mint leaves (optional, for garnish)
Instructions
Preheat your oven's broiler to high and position the oven rack about 10-15 centimeters below the heat source.
Wash and hull the strawberries, then slice them in half if they're large.
Place the strawberries in a single layer on a baking sheet lined with parchment paper or aluminum foil.
Sprinkle the strawberries evenly with granulated sugar and drizzle the vanilla extract over them.
Place the baking sheet under the broiler and broil the strawberries for 4-5 minutes, or until the tops are caramelized and slightly bubbly. Keep a close watch to prevent burning.
While the strawberries are broiling, prepare the cream by whipping the heavy cream and powdered sugar together in a mixing bowl using a hand whisk or an electric mixer. Whip until soft peaks form, about 2-3 minutes.
Once the strawberries are done, remove them from the broiler and let them cool slightly for 1-2 minutes.
To serve, divide the broiled strawberries into four bowls or serving dishes, and top with a generous dollop of whipped cream.
Garnish with fresh mint leaves, if desired, and serve immediately.
