Ingredients:

  • 1 lb fresh strawberries, hulled and quartered
  • 2 tbsp granulated sugar
  • 1 tsp fresh lemon juice
  • 0.5 tsp lemon zest
  • 1 cup heavy whipping cream, chilled
  • 1 tbsp powdered sugar
  • 1 tsp pure vanilla extract

Instructions:

  1. Place the sliced strawberries in a medium bowl and sprinkle with granulated sugar and lemon juice. Toss gently and let sit for 10 minutes at room temperature to trigger osmosis and create a natural syrup.
  2. Pour the cold heavy cream into a pre-chilled mixing bowl. Add the powdered sugar and vanilla.
  3. Using an electric mixer on medium-high speed, whip the mixture until soft, billowy peaks form and the texture is satiny.
  4. Fold half of the macerated strawberries and their syrup into the cream using a spatula, creating high-contrast pink swirls.
  5. Spoon the mixture into chilled glasses and top with the remaining berries. Serve immediately.
