Ingredients
  • 500 g Fresh Strawberries
  • 250 ml Heavy Cream
  • 2 tablespoons Granulated Sugar
  • 1/2 teaspoon Vanilla Extract

Preparation of Strawberries

<p>Begin by gently washing the strawberries under cool running water. This will remove any dirt or impurities. Pat the strawberries dry with a clean paper towel.</p> <p>Remove the green stems from each strawberry. You can use a paring knife or a strawberry huller for this step. Cut the larger strawberries in half or quarters, depending on their size, so that all the pieces are roughly the same size. This will ensure even distribution and easier eating.</p>

Preparing the Cream

<p>In a mixing bowl, pour in the heavy cream. Add the granulated sugar and vanilla extract to the cream. Use an electric mixer or a whisk to whip the cream until it forms soft peaks. Be careful not to overwhip the cream, as it can turn into butter.</p>

Assembling the Dessert

<p>In individual serving bowls or glasses, layer the strawberries and whipped cream. You can start with a layer of strawberries, followed by a layer of whipped cream, and repeat until all the ingredients are used. For a more elegant presentation, you can pipe the whipped cream using a piping bag fitted with a decorative tip. Garnish with a whole strawberry or a sprinkle of powdered sugar before serving.</p>

Chilling and Serving

<p>For the best taste and texture, chill the assembled berries with cream in the refrigerator for at least 30 minutes before serving. This will allow the flavors to meld together and the cream to firm up slightly. Serve chilled and enjoy!</p>
