Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 300 grams Fresh strawberries
- 50 grams Granulated sugar
- 1 tablespoon Lemon juice
- 240 milliliters Heavy whipping cream
- 30 grams Powdered sugar
- 1 teaspoon Vanilla extract
- 1 teaspoon Unflavored gelatin powder
- 2 tablespoons Cold water
Instructions
Wash, hull, and dice the fresh strawberries into small pieces.
In a small saucepan over medium heat, combine the diced strawberries, granulated sugar, and lemon juice.
Cook for 5-7 minutes, stirring occasionally, until the strawberries break down and the mixture slightly thickens. Remove from heat and let it cool completely.
Dissolve the unflavored gelatin powder in 2 tablespoons of cold water. Let it sit for 5 minutes to bloom.
Once the gelatin has bloomed, warm it in the microwave for 10-15 seconds until fully dissolved. Allow it to cool slightly but not solidify.
In a large mixing bowl, beat the heavy whipping cream with an electric mixer on medium-high speed until soft peaks form.
Add the powdered sugar and vanilla extract to the whipped cream and continue beating until stiff peaks form.
Gently fold the cooled strawberry mixture into the whipped cream until fully incorporated.
Finally, drizzle the cooled gelatin into the strawberry cream mixture while gently folding to ensure even distribution. This will help the filling set and hold its shape.
Chill the strawberry cream filling for at least 30 minutes before using it to fill your cake layers. Enjoy!
