Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 500 grams fresh strawberries
- 240 ml heavy cream
- 50 grams powdered sugar
- 1 teaspoon lemon zest
- 2 tablespoons fresh lemon juice
- 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
- 5 leaves mint leaves (optional, for garnish)
Instructions
Wash the strawberries thoroughly under cold water, pat them dry with a clean kitchen towel, and hull them (remove the green tops). You may leave them whole or slice them into halves or quarters, depending on your preference.
In a medium-sized mixing bowl, pour in the heavy cream.
Add the powdered sugar, lemon zest, fresh lemon juice, and vanilla extract to the bowl with the heavy cream.
Using a hand mixer or a whisk, beat the mixture on medium speed until soft peaks form. This will take about 3-4 minutes with a hand mixer. Be careful not to overwhip the cream; it should be slightly stiff but still smooth and creamy.
Divide the prepared strawberries evenly among serving bowls or glasses.
Spoon or pipe the lemon cream over the strawberries, making sure each serving gets a generous dollop.
Optional: Garnish each dish with a fresh mint leaf for a pop of color and freshness.
Serve immediately and enjoy this delightful dessert!
