The strawberry puree is gently folded into the whipped cream for a naturally sweet flavor and beautiful pink hue, making it an elegant and easy addition to cakes, pies, or fresh fruit.

Ingredients

Strawberry Puree

  • 1 cup fresh strawberries (hulled)

Whipped Cream Mixture

  • 1 cup heavy cream (chilled)
  • 1/4 cup powdered sugar
  • 1/2 teaspoon vanilla extract

Instructions

  1. Puree the Strawberries: Place the hulled fresh strawberries into a blender and puree until completely smooth to create a fresh strawberry puree.
  2. Combine Cream Ingredients: In a large chilled bowl, mix the heavy cream, powdered sugar, and vanilla extract together, ensuring the cream is cold to achieve optimal whipping results.
  3. Begin Whipping: Using an electric mixer on medium-high speed, beat the cream mixture gradually until it starts to thicken and soft peaks begin to form.
  4. Incorporate Strawberry Puree: While continuing to beat on medium speed, slowly add the strawberry puree into the cream mixture to evenly blend the flavors and colors.
  5. Whip to Stiff Peaks: Increase the mixer speed to high and continue whipping the mixture until stiff peaks form, ensuring a light, fluffy consistency.
  6. Serve or Store: Use the strawberry whipped cream immediately as a topping or store it covered in the refrigerator until ready to serve, ideally within 24 hours for freshness.

Notes

  • Ensure the heavy cream is well chilled before whipping for best volume and texture.
  • Do not overbeat to the point of butter formation; stop once stiff peaks form.
  • Fresh strawberries add natural sweetness but you can adjust powdered sugar to taste.
  • Use within a day for the best flavor and texture, as separation may occur if stored longer.
  • This whipped cream pairs beautifully with cakes, pies, pancakes, or fresh fruit bowls.
