Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 6 cups fresh strawberries
- 1.5 cups granulated sugar
- 1 cup plain Greek yogurt
- 2 cups milk
- 1 cup whipping cream
- 3 tablespoons honey
- 2 tablespoons lemon juice
- 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
- 8 whole graham crackers
- 1 stick unsalted butter
- 1 cup chocolate chips
- 0.5 cup powdered sugar
- 10 leaves mint leaves
Instructions
1. Prepare the strawberries: Wash and hull all 6 cups of strawberries. Divide them equally into 6 portions (1 cup each) as you create each version of the Strawberry Delights.
2. Version 1 (Strawberry Smoothie): Blend 1 cup of strawberries, 1 cup of milk, 2 tablespoons of honey, and 1/2 cup of yogurt in a blender until smooth. Serve in a chilled glass.
3. Version 2 (Strawberry Shortcake Cups): Crush graham crackers and mix with 1/4 cup of melted unsalted butter and 1 tablespoon of sugar. Press the mixture into the bottom of small cups. Top with sliced strawberries, whipped cream, and a sprinkle of powdered sugar.
4. Version 3 (Strawberry Sorbet): Blend 1 cup of strawberries, 2 tablespoons of lemon juice, 1/3 cup of sugar, and 1/3 cup of water. Freeze the mixture for 3-4 hours, stirring every 30 minutes to break up ice crystals.
5. Version 4 (Chocolate-Dipped Strawberries): Melt 1 cup of chocolate chips using a double boiler or microwave. Dip whole strawberries into the melted chocolate and place them on parchment paper to set.
6. Version 5 (Strawberry Mint Salad): Toss 1 cup of sliced strawberries with a handful of mint leaves, 1 tablespoon of honey, and a splash of lemon juice. Let it sit for 10 minutes before serving.
7. Version 6 (Whipped Strawberry Mousse): Blend 1 cup of strawberries with 1/4 cup of sugar to make a puree. Whip 1 cup of whipping cream with 1 tablespoon of powdered sugar until stiff peaks form, then gently fold in the strawberry puree. Chill for at least 1 hour before serving.
Serve all six delights together or individually, depending on the occasion. Enjoy!
