Wash the strawberries thoroughly and remove the green tops. Pat them dry with a clean kitchen towel or paper towels. Slice the strawberries into halves or quarters, depending on their size, and set aside.
In a large, chilled mixing bowl, pour in the heavy whipping cream. Using a hand mixer or stand mixer fitted with the whisk attachment, beat the cream on medium speed until it begins to thicken.
Gradually sift the powdered sugar into the whipped cream while continuing to mix. Add the vanilla extract and increase the mixer speed to high. Whip the cream until soft peaks form. Be careful not to overwhip; the cream should be light and fluffy, not grainy.
To assemble, divide the sliced strawberries evenly among serving dishes or dessert glasses.
Top each serving of strawberries with a generous dollop of Chantilly cream.
Optionally, garnish with a mint leaf or a sprinkle of chocolate shavings for an extra touch of elegance.
Serve immediately and enjoy this delightful dessert!
