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:
- 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.
- 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.
- 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.
- 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.
- 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.
