Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 450 grams fresh strawberries
- 2 tablespoons granulated sugar
- 240 milliliters heavy cream
- 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
- 1 tablespoon powdered sugar
- 4 leaves fresh mint leaves (optional, for garnish)
Instructions
Wash the strawberries thoroughly under cold running water. Remove the green tops and slice the strawberries into halves or quarters, depending on their size.
Place the strawberries in a large mixing bowl. Sprinkle the granulated sugar over the strawberries and use a fork or potato masher to crush them gently, leaving some small chunks for texture. Let them sit for 5-10 minutes to release their juices.
In a separate cold mixing bowl, pour in the heavy cream. Add the powdered sugar and vanilla extract.
Using a hand mixer or whisk, whip the cream until it forms soft peaks. Be careful not to over-whip as it can turn into butter.
To assemble, divide the crushed strawberries evenly among serving glasses or bowls. Spoon a generous dollop of whipped cream on top of each portion.
Garnish with fresh mint leaves, if using, and serve immediately. Enjoy!
