Ingredients
- 250 grams strawberries
- 2 tablespoons granulated sugar
- 150 milliliters heavy cream
- 100 grams plain Greek yogurt
- 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
Directions
Step 1
Wash and hull the strawberries, then slice them into small pieces.
Step 2
Place the strawberries in a bowl, add the granulated sugar, and stir to coat evenly. Allow the strawberries to macerate for 10 minutes until they release their juices.
Step 3
Using a blender or food processor, puree the strawberries until smooth. If desired, pass the puree through a fine mesh sieve to remove seeds.
Step 4
In a mixing bowl, whip the heavy cream until soft peaks form. Be careful not to overwhip.
Step 5
Gently fold the Greek yogurt and vanilla extract into the whipped cream until combined.
Step 6
Reserve a small portion of the strawberry puree for drizzling and fold the remaining puree into the cream and yogurt mixture. Fold lightly for a marbled effect or completely for a uniform pink color, depending on preference.
Step 7
Spoon the mixture into serving glasses or bowls, layering or swirling additional strawberry puree if desired.
Step 8
Chill the dessert in the refrigerator for at least 30 minutes before serving.
Step 9
Garnish with fresh strawberry slices or a small mint sprig, if you like, and enjoy your Light Strawberry Fool!
