Scale
Main Ingredients:
- 1 cup heavy whipping cream (cold)
- 1/2 cup chopped strawberries
Sweeteners:
- 2 tablespoons powdered sugar
Optional Decorative Ingredient:
- Red gel icing color (optional, for coloring)
Instructions
- Crush strawberries into a velvety puree using a food processor, creating a smooth, vibrant base for the dessert.
- Optional: Strain the puree through a fine mesh sieve to eliminate seeds, ensuring a silky texture.
- Chill a mixing bowl in the refrigerator for optimal cream whipping results.
- Whip cold heavy cream with powdered sugar at medium-high speed until soft, billowy peaks emerge.
- Delicately introduce the strawberry puree into the whipped cream, folding gently to maintain the airy consistency.
- For an intensified pink hue, add a tiny drop of red gel icing color and blend thoroughly.
- Continue whipping until the mixture forms stiff, voluminous peaks, taking care to avoid overbeating.
- Serve immediately as a luscious topping for cakes, parfaits, or other desserts.
- Alternatively, refrigerate the strawberry cream for up to 24 hours, preserving its light and fluffy texture.
Notes
- Opt for ripe, sweet strawberries at peak season for the most vibrant flavor and natural sweetness.
- Chill your mixing bowl and whisk beforehand to help the cream whip faster and achieve better volume.
- For a lighter version, substitute heavy cream with Greek yogurt or coconut cream to reduce calories and add tanginess.
- Customize the dessert by adding a splash of vanilla extract, a hint of almond extract, or finely chopped fresh mint for extra complexity.
