Instructions

Prep Your Strawberries

Start by washing and hulling your strawberries. Then, puree them until smooth using a blender or food processor. If you prefer a smoother texture, strain the puree to remove any seeds.

Whip the Cream

In a chilled mixing bowl, combine heavy cream, powdered sugar, and vanilla extract. Use a hand mixer or stand mixer to whip until soft peaks form.

Fold in the Strawberry Puree

Gently fold the strawberry puree into the whipped cream, a little at a time, until fully incorporated. Be careful not to overmix—keep it light and fluffy!

Add Optional Lemon Zest

For an extra pop of flavor, fold in a pinch of fresh lemon zest.

Chill and Serve

Refrigerate for at least 15 minutes to let the flavors meld together. Serve as a topping, filling, or dip, and enjoy!
