Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 1 cup Fresh strawberries
- 2 tablespoons Granulated sugar
- 1 cup Heavy cream
- 1 teaspoon Vanilla extract
- 1 tablespoon Powdered sugar (optional)
Instructions
Wash and hull the strawberries. Pat them dry with a paper towel.
Using a blender or food processor, puree the strawberries until smooth.
Pass the puree through a fine mesh sieve into a bowl to remove the seeds. Discard the seeds and set the smooth puree aside.
In a mixing bowl, add the heavy cream and vanilla extract. Begin whipping using a hand mixer or stand mixer fitted with the whisk attachment on medium speed.
Once the cream begins to thicken slightly, add the granulated sugar and gradually increase the speed to medium-high.
Continue whipping the cream until soft peaks form, being careful not to overwhip.
Gently fold 2 to 3 tablespoons of the strawberry puree into the whipped cream, tasting as you go. Add additional puree as desired for a stronger strawberry flavor.
For extra sweetness, sift in the powdered sugar and fold it into the whipped cream, if desired.
Serve immediately or refrigerate in an airtight container for up to 24 hours. Re-whip lightly if the mixture deflates before serving.
