Instructions

Prepare the strawberry puree

In a blender or food processor, combine the chopped strawberries and sugar. Blend until smooth.

Pro tip: Taste and add more sugar if your strawberries are not very sweet.

Chill the equipment

Place your mixing bowl and beaters in the freezer for about 10 minutes to chill.

Pro tip: Chilling helps the cream whip faster and more efficiently.

Whip the cream

In the chilled bowl, pour the whipping cream. Using a hand mixer, beat on medium speed until soft peaks form.

Pro tip: Soft peaks will hold their shape but will still be slightly droopy.

Add vanilla

Add the vanilla extract to the whipped cream and continue beating until stiff peaks form.

Fold in the puree

Gently fold the strawberry puree into the whipped cream using a spatula until fully combined.

Pro tip: Fold gently to maintain the airiness of the whip.

Chill and serve

Transfer the mixture to serving bowls and chill in the refrigerator for at least 30 minutes before serving.

Pro tip: Garnish with sliced strawberries or mint leaves for a decorative touch.
