Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 250 grams strawberries
- 2 tablespoons granulated sugar
- 150 milliliters heavy cream
- 100 grams plain Greek yogurt
- 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
Instructions
Wash and hull the strawberries, then slice them into small pieces.
Place the strawberries in a bowl, add the granulated sugar, and stir to coat evenly. Allow the strawberries to macerate for 10 minutes until they release their juices.
Using a blender or food processor, puree the strawberries until smooth. If desired, pass the puree through a fine mesh sieve to remove seeds.
In a mixing bowl, whip the heavy cream until soft peaks form. Be careful not to overwhip.
Gently fold the Greek yogurt and vanilla extract into the whipped cream until combined.
Reserve a small portion of the strawberry puree for drizzling and fold the remaining puree into the cream and yogurt mixture. Fold lightly for a marbled effect or completely for a uniform pink color, depending on preference.
Spoon the mixture into serving glasses or bowls, layering or swirling additional strawberry puree if desired.
Chill the dessert in the refrigerator for at least 30 minutes before serving.
Garnish with fresh strawberry slices or a small mint sprig, if you like, and enjoy your Light Strawberry Fool!
