- 1 1/2 cups heavy whipping cream, cold
- 2 tbsp powdered sugar
- 1 tsp vanilla extract
Instructions
- Prepare the Strawberries:
- In a small bowl, combine diced strawberries and sugar (if using). Stir gently and let them sit for 10-15 minutes to release their juices.

- Using an electric mixer or whisk, beat the cream on medium-high speed until soft peaks form.
- Gently fold in the strawberry puree until fully combined. Whip the cream for another 30 seconds until stiff peaks form.
- Serve:
- Serve immediately over your favorite desserts, or refrigerate until ready to use.
Notes
- Use fresh, ripe strawberries for the best flavor.
- You can adjust the sugar amount depending on your preference or the sweetness of the strawberries.
