Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 500 grams Fresh strawberries
- 240 ml Heavy cream
- 2 tablespoons Granulated sugar
- 1 teaspoon Vanilla extract
- 1 tablespoon Powdered sugar
- 1 teaspoon Lemon zest
Instructions
Wash the strawberries thoroughly under cold running water and pat them dry with a paper towel. Hull the strawberries and, if they are large, slice them in halves or quarters. Set aside.
In a chilled mixing bowl, pour the heavy cream, and sprinkle in the granulated sugar and vanilla extract.
Using a hand mixer or a whisk, whip the cream until soft peaks form. Be careful not to overwhip, as the cream can become grainy.
Gently fold in the powdered sugar and lemon zest, ensuring they are evenly incorporated into the cream.
To serve, divide the strawberries among four dessert bowls or plates.
Dollop generous spoonfuls of the French cream over the strawberries or serve it on the side.
Optionally, garnish with fresh mint leaves or a sprinkle of additional lemon zest for a pop of color and flavor.
Serve immediately and enjoy!
