Ingredients
- 400 grams Fresh strawberries
- 2 tablespoons Granulated sugar
- 300 milliliters Heavy whipping cream
- 1 teaspoon Vanilla extract
- 75 grams Amaretti cookies
- 1 tablespoon Powdered sugar
Directions
Step 1
Wash the strawberries and hull them. Reserve a few for garnish and roughly chop the rest into small pieces.
Step 2
In a bowl, mix the chopped strawberries with the granulated sugar. Stir well and let sit for 5-10 minutes to macerate, allowing the juices to release.
Step 3
In a separate large mixing bowl, whip the heavy whipping cream with an electric mixer until soft peaks form.
Step 4
Add the vanilla extract and powdered sugar to the whipped cream, then lightly whip again to combine. Be careful not to over-whip.
Step 5
Crush the amaretti cookies into coarse pieces. Do not crush them too finely to maintain texture.
Step 6
Gently fold the macerated strawberries and their juices into the whipped cream, reserving a few for layering or garnish if desired.
Step 7
Layer the whipped cream mixture, crushed amaretti cookies, and reserved strawberries in serving glasses or bowls. Repeat the layers if necessary.
Step 8
Garnish the top with whole or halved strawberries and a sprinkle of crushed amaretti cookies for presentation.
Step 9
Serve immediately and enjoy your Strawberry Amaretti Eton Mess!
