Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 500 grams Fresh strawberries
- 2 tablespoons Granulated sugar
- 250 milliliters Heavy cream
- 1 teaspoon Vanilla extract (optional)
Instructions
Wash the strawberries thoroughly under cold running water and pat them dry with a clean kitchen towel or paper towel.
Remove the green stems from the strawberries and cut them into halves, or quarters if they are particularly large. Place the prepared strawberries in a large mixing bowl.
Sprinkle the granulated sugar evenly over the strawberries and gently toss to combine. Let the strawberries sit for 5 minutes to allow the sugar to draw out their natural juices.
While the strawberries rest, pour the heavy cream into a separate bowl. If desired, add 1 teaspoon of vanilla extract for extra flavor. Whisk the cream until it becomes slightly thickened but still pourable. (Do not overwhip; this dessert calls for lightly thickened cream, not whipped cream.)
Divide the sugared strawberries among 4 serving bowls or glasses.
Spoon the lightly thickened cream over the strawberries, ensuring each portion is generously coated.
Serve immediately and enjoy this simple yet indulgent dessert.
