Ingredients
Scale
1 cup cold heavy cream
2 cups sliced ripe strawberries (fresh or thawed frozen)
2 tablespoons granulated sugar
1 teaspoon vanilla extract
Optional: sliced strawberries and chocolate sprinkles for garnish
Instructions
- Macerate the strawberries: In a medium bowl, combine sliced strawberries, sugar, and vanilla. Stir gently, then mash slightly with a fork, leaving some chunks. Let sit 10–15 minutes until juicy.
- Whip the cream: Pour cold heavy cream into a large mixing bowl. Whisk (by hand or with electric beaters) until soft peaks form—don’t overbeat, or it could turn grainy.
- Fold in strawberry mixture: Mix half of the juicy strawberry mash into the whipped cream until softly blended. Save the rest for layering.
- Layer the dessert: Add a spoonful of the cream mixture to each serving glass, followed by a layer of the reserved strawberries.
- Serve right away or chill briefly: Enjoy immediately or refrigerate for up to one hour before serving.
Notes
For best results, chill your bowl and beaters before whipping cream.
Use fresh, ripe strawberries for max flavor.
Prep components ahead, then assemble just before serving.
Great with a dollop of Greek yogurt or whipped coconut cream for variation.
