Total Time:30 minutes
Yield:4 cups1x
Ingredients
Scale
1 cup of heavy whipping cream
1/2 cup of powdered sugar
1 teaspoon of vanilla extract
1 cup of strawberry purée (fresh or frozen)
1 cup of crumbled chocolate cookies or graham crackers
Fresh strawberries for topping
Chocolate shavings for garnish
Instructions
Start by chilling your mixing bowl and whisk attachment in the refrigerator. This will help the cream whip faster and achieve a better consistency. Once chilled, pour the heavy whipping cream into the bowl.
Sprinkle the powdered sugar and vanilla extract into the heavy cream. Use an electric mixer to beat the ingredients on medium speed until soft peaks form. Be careful not to overwhip, or you’ll end up with butter!
If you’re using fresh strawberries, wash and hull them before blending. For frozen strawberries, thaw them first. Blend the strawberries in a food processor until smooth. You can strain the mixture to remove the seeds if desired.
Take clear dessert cups or small mason jars for a beautiful presentation. Start with a layer of crumbled cookies or graham crackers at the bottom, followed by a layer of the strawberry purée. Next, add a generous layer of the whipped cream.
Continue layering the ingredients in the cups. Depending on the size of your cups, you can create two to three layers. Make sure to finish with a layer of whipped cream on top for a beautiful finish.
Cover the dessert cups with plastic wrap and chill them in the refrigerator for at least two hours. This allows the flavors to meld together. Just before serving, add fresh strawberries on top and sprinkle with chocolate shavings for an elegant touch.
Notes
