Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 500 grams fresh strawberries
- 50 grams granulated sugar
- 1 tablespoon lemon juice
- 120 grams whipped cream
- 6 leaves mint leaves
Instructions
Wash the fresh strawberries thoroughly under cold water and pat them dry with a clean kitchen towel.
Hull the strawberries by removing the green stems, then slice them into halves or quarters, depending on their size.
In a mixing bowl, combine the sliced strawberries with granulated sugar and lemon juice. Stir gently to evenly coat the strawberries.
Allow the mixture to sit at room temperature for 10 minutes. This will create a natural syrup as the strawberries release their juices.
Divide the macerated strawberries into 4 small serving bowls or dessert glasses.
Top each serving with a dollop of whipped cream and garnish with a fresh mint leaf for a pop of color and flavor.
Serve immediately and enjoy this simple yet delicious strawberry dessert.
