Wash the strawberries thoroughly under cold running water and gently pat them dry with a clean towel. Hull the strawberries (remove the green leafy tops) and slice them in halves or quarters based on your preference. Set aside.
In a large mixing bowl, combine the cold heavy cream, powdered sugar, and vanilla extract. Ensure that both the mixing bowl and the whisk (or beaters) are cold for optimal whipping results.
Using a hand mixer, stand mixer, or a whisk, beat the cream mixture on medium-high speed until soft peaks form. Be careful not to over-whisk, as this can turn the cream grainy or cause it to separate.
Once the Chantilly cream is ready, taste it and adjust the sweetness, if desired, by adding a little more powdered sugar and gently folding it in.
To serve, divide the sliced strawberries evenly among four dessert bowls or plates. Top each portion generously with a dollop of the Chantilly cream.
Garnish with fresh mint leaves, if using, for an added touch of elegance. Serve immediately and enjoy!
