# Ingredients:
→ Dessert ingredients
01 -
A pint of fresh strawberries, saving some for decoration
02 -
Two tablespoons white sugar (adjust for how sweet the strawberries are)
03 -
Cold heavy cream, one cup
04 -
Two tablespoons powdered sugar
→ Toppings
05 -
Cookies like sugar wafers or any others you like
06 -
White sprinkles or decorative candy beads
# Instructions:
01 -
Chop and hull the strawberries, keeping a few for the topping. Mix them with white sugar, leaving them for five minutes or more to sit. Mash lightly with a fork until chunky. Heat in a saucepan on medium, stirring here and there for around 8 minutes as the liquid reduces. Spread it out in a shallow container to cool completely in the fridge.
02 -
Whisk the chilled cream in a big mixing bowl until it's doubled in size. Slowly add the powdered sugar and keep whisking until you can see stiff peaks (it should stay in place when scooped).
03 -
Once the strawberry mix is cold, fold it gently into the whipped cream. Combine enough to get white and pink streaks showing, but don’t mix it until it’s one solid color.
04 -
Scoop the strawberry-cream mixture into two wine glasses or similar containers. Slice the leftover strawberries and place them on top. Add crushed or whole cookies, white candy decorations, and the strawberry slices. Chill before serving.
# Notes:
01 -
If you’re in a rush, skip cooking the strawberries. After sitting with sugar for about 10 minutes, mash and mix them straight with the whipped cream.

This soft, airy treat works wonderfully for a romantic dinner or a special celebration.
