Ingredients
- 300 grams fresh strawberries
- 40 grams granulated sugar
- 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
- 300 milliliters heavy cream
- 20 grams powdered sugar
- 4 leaves fresh mint leaves (optional, for garnish)
Directions
Step 1
Wash and hull the fresh strawberries. Reserve a few whole strawberries for garnish if desired.
Step 2
Dice the remaining strawberries and place them in a medium-sized mixing bowl.
Step 3
Add granulated sugar and vanilla extract to the diced strawberries. Stir gently to combine and set aside for about 10 minutes to allow the strawberries to release their juices.
Step 4
Using a fork or a potato masher, mash the strawberries until they are slightly chunky and resemble a rough puree. Alternatively, you can blend them briefly if you prefer a smoother consistency.
Step 5
In a separate large mixing bowl, pour the heavy cream. Add the powdered sugar.
Step 6
Using a hand mixer or a whisk, beat the cream and powdered sugar together until soft peaks form. Be careful not to over-whip.
Step 7
Gently fold the strawberry mixture into the whipped cream, creating a swirled effect. Be careful not to overmix; the swirls give the dessert its signature appearance.
Step 8
Divide the mixture equally among serving glasses or bowls. Refrigerate for at least 30 minutes before serving to allow the flavors to meld.
Step 9
Just before serving, garnish each serving with a reserved whole strawberry and a fresh mint leaf if desired.
Step 10
Serve chilled and enjoy your Strawberry Fool!
