- 2 cups Fresh strawberries
- 1 tablespoon Granulated sugar
- 1 teaspoon Lemon juice
- 0.5 teaspoons Vanilla extract
- 1 cup Whipped cream
- 6 leaves Fresh mint leaves (optional)
Directions
Step 1
Wash and hull the strawberries, then dice half of them into small pieces, leaving the other half intact for blending.
Step 2
In a medium saucepan over medium heat, combine the diced strawberries, whole strawberries, granulated sugar, and lemon juice. Stir well and cook for 5 minutes until the mixture becomes slightly syrupy and the strawberries soften.
Step 3
Remove the saucepan from the heat and transfer the mixture to a blender or food processor. Add the vanilla extract and blend until smooth. Allow the strawberry sauce to cool for 5 minutes.
Step 4
While the sauce cools, arrange the Twinkies on a serving plate, spacing them evenly.
Step 5
Drizzle the strawberry sauce generously over each Twinkie, ensuring they are well-coated in the sweet mixture.
Step 6
Top each Twinkie with a dollop of whipped cream and garnish with a fresh mint leaf if desired.
Step 7
Serve immediately and enjoy this indulgent dessert with family or friends!
