Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 500 grams Fresh strawberries
- 250 ml Heavy cream
- 50 grams Powdered sugar
- 1 teaspoon Almond extract
- 1 teaspoon Vanilla extract
- 50 grams Toasted almond slivers
- 2 tablespoons Honey
- 5 leaves Mint leaves (optional, for garnish)
Instructions
Wash and hull the fresh strawberries. Slice about 75% of them into quarters and leave the rest whole for garnish. Set aside.
In a large mixing bowl, pour the heavy cream. Using an electric hand mixer or stand mixer, whip the cream on medium speed until soft peaks form.
Add the powdered sugar, almond extract, and vanilla extract to the whipped cream. Continue whipping on low-medium speed until firm peaks form. Be careful not to overwhip or the cream will separate.
Gently fold the sliced strawberries into the whipped cream mixture using a spatula. Be delicate to avoid crushing the strawberries.
Drizzle honey into the mixture and gently fold again until evenly incorporated.
Divide the mixture into 4 serving bowls or glasses. Garnish each bowl with a few whole strawberries, toasted almond slivers, and a mint leaf if desired.
Serve immediately, or cover and refrigerate for up to 2 hours before serving for a chilled version of the dessert.
