Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 400 grams Fresh strawberries
- 2 tablespoons Granulated sugar
- 300 milliliters Heavy whipping cream
- 1 teaspoon Vanilla extract
- 75 grams Amaretti cookies
- 1 tablespoon Powdered sugar
Instructions
Wash the strawberries and hull them. Reserve a few for garnish and roughly chop the rest into small pieces.
In a bowl, mix the chopped strawberries with the granulated sugar. Stir well and let sit for 5-10 minutes to macerate, allowing the juices to release.
In a separate large mixing bowl, whip the heavy whipping cream with an electric mixer until soft peaks form.
Add the vanilla extract and powdered sugar to the whipped cream, then lightly whip again to combine. Be careful not to over-whip.
Crush the amaretti cookies into coarse pieces. Do not crush them too finely to maintain texture.
Gently fold the macerated strawberries and their juices into the whipped cream, reserving a few for layering or garnish if desired.
Layer the whipped cream mixture, crushed amaretti cookies, and reserved strawberries in serving glasses or bowls. Repeat the layers if necessary.
Garnish the top with whole or halved strawberries and a sprinkle of crushed amaretti cookies for presentation.
Serve immediately and enjoy your Strawberry Amaretti Eton Mess!
