Ingredients
- 450 grams fresh strawberries
- 2 tablespoons granulated sugar
- 240 milliliters heavy cream
- 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
- 1 tablespoon powdered sugar
- 4 leaves fresh mint leaves (optional, for garnish)
Directions
Step 1
Wash the strawberries thoroughly under cold running water. Remove the green tops and slice the strawberries into halves or quarters, depending on their size.
Step 2
Place the strawberries in a large mixing bowl. Sprinkle the granulated sugar over the strawberries and use a fork or potato masher to crush them gently, leaving some small chunks for texture. Let them sit for 5-10 minutes to release their juices.
Step 3
In a separate cold mixing bowl, pour in the heavy cream. Add the powdered sugar and vanilla extract.
Step 4
Using a hand mixer or whisk, whip the cream until it forms soft peaks. Be careful not to over-whip as it can turn into butter.
Step 5
To assemble, divide the crushed strawberries evenly among serving glasses or bowls. Spoon a generous dollop of whipped cream on top of each portion.
Step 6
Garnish with fresh mint leaves, if using, and serve immediately. Enjoy!
