Why This Strawberry Dessert is Special

Ingredients You’ll Need
You don’t need a big shopping list for this. Everything is super simple:
- Fresh strawberries – 2 cups (washed and sliced).
- Whipping cream – 1 cup.
- Sugar – 3 to 4 tablespoons (you can adjust to taste).
- Vanilla extract – ½ teaspoon.
- Biscuits or cookies (optional) – crushed, for layering.
That’s it! No fancy stuff, just things you probably already have at home.
Step-by-Step Instructions
1. Prepare the Strawberries
Take your strawberries, wash them well, and slice them into small pieces. If you want them sweeter, sprinkle 1 tablespoon of sugar on top and let them sit for 10 minutes. This makes them soft and juicy.
2. Whip the Cream
In a bowl, add whipping cream, sugar, and vanilla extract. Use a hand mixer (or whisk if you don’t mind a little workout) until the cream is thick and fluffy.
3. Layer the Dessert
Now the fun part. In small glasses or bowls:
- Add a layer of crushed biscuits at the bottom (optional but tasty).
- Add a spoonful of strawberries.
- Add whipped cream on top.
- Repeat the layers until the glass is full.
4. Chill and Serve
Put the glasses in the fridge for about 30 minutes before serving. This makes the dessert cold, creamy, and refreshing.
Tips to Make It Even Better
- Use chilled bowls and cream for faster whipping.
- Add some chocolate syrup or grated chocolate for extra flavor.
- If you like tangy taste, mix a few blueberries or raspberries.
- Want it healthier? Use Greek yogurt instead of cream.
When to Serve This Dessert
Honestly? Anytime. But here are the best moments:
- After dinner when you want something light and sweet.
- For family gatherings or parties.
- On a hot summer day when you crave something cold and fruity.
