Ingredients
- 1 cup Fresh strawberries
- 2 tablespoons Granulated sugar
- 1 cup Heavy cream
- 1 teaspoon Vanilla extract
- 1 tablespoon Powdered sugar (optional)
Directions
Step 1
Wash and hull the strawberries. Pat them dry with a paper towel.
Step 2
Using a blender or food processor, puree the strawberries until smooth.
Step 3
Pass the puree through a fine mesh sieve into a bowl to remove the seeds. Discard the seeds and set the smooth puree aside.
Step 4
In a mixing bowl, add the heavy cream and vanilla extract. Begin whipping using a hand mixer or stand mixer fitted with the whisk attachment on medium speed.
Step 5
Once the cream begins to thicken slightly, add the granulated sugar and gradually increase the speed to medium-high.
Step 6
Continue whipping the cream until soft peaks form, being careful not to overwhip.
Step 7
Gently fold 2 to 3 tablespoons of the strawberry puree into the whipped cream, tasting as you go. Add additional puree as desired for a stronger strawberry flavor.
Step 8
For extra sweetness, sift in the powdered sugar and fold it into the whipped cream, if desired.
Step 9
Serve immediately or refrigerate in an airtight container for up to 24 hours. Re-whip lightly if the mixture deflates before serving.
