Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 500 grams fresh strawberries
- 250 milliliters heavy whipping cream
- 2 tablespoons granulated sugar
- 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
- 1 teaspoon powdered sugar (optional, for garnish)
- 5 leaves mint leaves (optional, for garnish)
Instructions
Rinse the strawberries thoroughly under cold water and pat them dry with a clean kitchen towel or paper towels.
Hull the strawberries by removing the green tops, then slice them into halves (or quarters for larger strawberries). Set aside.
In a large mixing bowl, pour in the heavy whipping cream. Add the granulated sugar and vanilla extract.
Using an electric hand mixer or stand mixer with a whisk attachment, whip the cream on medium-high speed until soft peaks form. This will take approximately 3-4 minutes. Be careful not to overmix, or the cream may turn into butter.
Divide the sliced strawberries evenly among 4 serving bowls or glasses.
Spoon a generous dollop of the whipped cream over each serving of strawberries.
Optional: Lightly dust the tops with powdered sugar and garnish with a fresh mint leaf for an elegant finish.
Serve immediately and enjoy this sweet and simple dessert!
