Ingredients
- 500 grams fresh strawberries
- 3 tablespoons granulated sugar
- 300 ml heavy whipping cream
- 2 tablespoons powdered sugar
- 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
- 200 grams butter cookies
- 4 tablespoons unsalted butter
- 1 handful fresh mint leaves (optional, for garnish)
Directions
Step 1
Wash and hull the fresh strawberries. Reserve a few whole strawberries for garnish, and dice the remaining strawberries into small pieces.
Step 2
In a medium bowl, combine the diced strawberries with 3 tablespoons of granulated sugar. Stir well and set aside to macerate for 10-15 minutes.
Step 3
While the strawberries are macerating, place the butter cookies in a food processor and pulse until they turn into fine crumbs. Alternatively, place them in a sealed plastic bag and crush them with a rolling pin.
Step 4
Melt the unsalted butter in the microwave or on the stovetop, and then mix it with the cookie crumbs to create a buttery crumble mixture.
Step 5
In a separate large mixing bowl, whip the heavy whipping cream with powdered sugar and vanilla extract until stiff peaks form.
Step 6
To assemble the dessert, take six serving glasses or bowls. Start by adding a layer of the buttery cookie crumble at the bottom of each glass.
Step 7
Spoon a layer of the macerated strawberries over the cookie crumble.
Step 8
Add a generous layer of the whipped cream on top of the strawberries.
Step 9
Repeat the layers (cookie crumble, strawberries, whipped cream) until the glass is full, finishing with a dollop of whipped cream on top.
Step 10
Garnish each dessert with a whole strawberry and a sprig of fresh mint, if desired.
Step 11
Serve immediately or refrigerate for up to 2 hours before serving to allow the flavors to meld. Enjoy!
