Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 450 grams fresh strawberries
- 50 grams granulated sugar
- 240 ml heavy whipping cream
- 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
- 2 tablespoons powdered sugar
- 2 leaves fresh mint leaves (optional for garnish)
Instructions
Wash the strawberries thoroughly and pat them dry with a clean paper towel.
Reserve a few whole strawberries for garnish. Hull and slice the rest of the strawberries into small pieces.
In a mixing bowl, combine the sliced strawberries with granulated sugar. Mix well and let sit for 10 minutes to macerate the strawberries, allowing them to release their juices.
In a separate chilled mixing bowl, add the heavy whipping cream, vanilla extract, and powdered sugar.
Using a hand mixer or stand mixer, whip the cream on medium-high speed until soft peaks form. Be careful not to overwhip, as the cream might turn into butter.
Gently fold the macerated strawberries and their juices into the whipped cream until well incorporated. Avoid overmixing to maintain the fluffiness of the cream.
Spoon the strawberry whipped cream mixture into serving glasses or bowls.
Garnish with the reserved whole strawberries and fresh mint leaves (if desired).
Serve immediately for the best texture, or refrigerate for up to 2 hours before serving.
