Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 2 cups Fresh strawberries
- 0.5 cups Granulated sugar
- 2 tablespoons Fresh lemon juice
- 1 cup Heavy whipping cream
- 1 teaspoon Vanilla extract
- 0.25 cups Graham cracker crumbs (optional for garnish)
- 1 sprig Fresh mint leaves (optional for garnish)
Instructions
Wash and hull the fresh strawberries. Place them in a blender or food processor and blend until smooth.
In a medium mixing bowl, combine the strawberry puree, granulated sugar, and fresh lemon juice. Stir until the sugar dissolves completely.
In a separate large mixing bowl, whip the heavy cream using a hand or stand mixer on medium-high speed until soft peaks form. Be careful not to overwhip.
Gently fold the strawberry mixture into the whipped cream using a spatula. Add the vanilla extract and mix until well combined, taking care to retain the fluffy texture.
Transfer the mixture into a freezer-safe dish or individual serving cups. Smooth the surface with a spatula.
Cover the dish or cups with plastic wrap and freeze for at least 4 hours, or until the dessert is firm but creamy.
When ready to serve, optionally sprinkle graham cracker crumbs on top for a bit of crunch and garnish with a mint leaf for elegance.
