Ingredients
Scale
- 2 cups fresh strawberries, hulled and sliced
- 1 cup heavy cream
- 1 cup sweetened condensed milk
- 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
- 1 teaspoon lemon zest
- Powdered sugar (optional)
- Fresh mint leaves (optional, for garnish)
Instructions
- Wash and hull 2 cups (about 300g) of fresh strawberries. Slice them thinly and set aside.
- In a large mixing bowl, pour 1 cup (240ml) of heavy cream. Use an electric mixer to whip until soft peaks form. Be careful not to overwhip, as the cream can turn grainy.
- Gently fold 1 cup (240ml) of sweetened condensed milk into the whipped cream. Add 1 teaspoon of vanilla extract and 1 teaspoon of lemon zest. Mix until smooth and creamy.
- In your serving dish, start with a layer of the cream mixture. Add a layer of sliced strawberries. Repeat until all ingredients are used, ending with a layer of strawberries on top.
- Cover the dish with plastic wrap and refrigerate for at least 2 hours before serving. This allows the flavors to meld together beautifully.
- Just before serving, add a few fresh mint leaves on top for an extra pop of color and freshness.
Notes
[‘Use cold cream and cold equipment for faster and fluffier whipped cream.’, ‘Let the dessert chill for at least 2 hours to allow the flavors to meld.’, ‘Pick ripe, aromatic strawberries for the best flavor.’, ‘Fold gently to maintain the airy texture of the whipped cream.’]
