Strawberry Whipped Dessert

Strawberry Whipped Dessert

Ingredients:

• 2 cups heavy cream
• 1/2 cup powdered sugar
• 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
• 1 cup fresh strawberries, pureed
• Additional whole strawberries for garnish

Instructions:

1. Prepare Strawberry Puree:
   • Wash and hull the strawberries.
   • Use a blender to puree the strawberries until smooth. Strain through a fine mesh sieve to remove seeds, if desired.
2. Whip the Cream:
   • In a large bowl, combine the heavy cream, powdered sugar, and vanilla extract.
   • Use an electric mixer to whip the mixture until it begins to thicken. As it thickens, gradually add the strawberry puree.
   • Continue to whip until the mixture forms stiff peaks.
3. Assemble the Dessert:
   • Spoon the strawberry whipped cream into serving glasses or a piping bag.
   • If using a piping bag, pipe the cream into the glasses to create a visually appealing swirl.
4. Garnish and Chill:
   • Top each serving with a whole strawberry.
   • Refrigerate for at least one hour to allow the dessert to set slightly and develop flavors.
5. Serve:
   • Serve chilled as a refreshing and light dessert perfect for warm days.

Tips:

• Sweetness Adjustment: Adjust the amount of powdered sugar based on your preference for sweetness and the sweetness of the strawberries.
• Variations: Try using other fruit purees like raspberry, mango, or blueberry for different flavors.
• For a firmer texture: Mix in a small amount of softened cream cheese or mascarpone cheese with the heavy cream for a richer and more structured dessert.

This Strawberry Whipped Dessert is not only a feast for the eyes but also a delightfully light and flavorful treat that’s perfect for any occasion. Enjoy making and serving this lovely dessert!
