Okay, here’s a little about strawberries and cream, followed by a simple recipe:

Strawberries and Cream: A Classic Delight

Strawberries and cream is a supremely simple yet incredibly satisfying dessert or treat. The bright, juicy sweetness of fresh strawberries perfectly complements the rich, velvety smoothness of clotted cream (or whipped cream). It’s a nostalgic flavor combination, often associated with Wimbledon and summer picnics, and it’s a testament to the beauty of letting simple ingredients shine.

Simple Strawberries and Cream Recipe

Yields: 2 servings
Prep time: 5 minutes
Chill time: 15-30 minutes (optional)

Ingredients:

• 1 pound (about 450g) fresh strawberries, hulled and sliced
• 1/2 – 3/4 cup Heavy Cream (36-48% fat) – Clotted cream is ideal, but heavy cream works great.
• 1-2 tablespoons Powdered Sugar (adjust to taste)
• Optional: A tiny pinch of Vanilla Extract

Instructions:

1. Prepare the Strawberries: Wash and hull the strawberries. Slice them into bite-sized pieces.

2. Whip the Cream: In a medium bowl, pour in the heavy cream. Using an electric mixer (handheld or stand mixer) beat the cream on medium-high speed for 2-3 minutes, or until stiff peaks form. Don’t overbeat, or it will turn to butter! If using vanilla extract, add it in now.

3. Sweeten (Optional): Taste the whipped cream and add powdered sugar, one tablespoon at a time, until you reach your desired level of sweetness.

4. Assemble: Spoon the sliced strawberries into serving dishes or bowls. Top generously with the whipped cream.

5. Serve Immediately: Enjoy the strawberries and cream right away. For an extra chill, you can chill the assembled dessert for 15-30 minutes before serving.

Tips & Variations:

• For Extra Flavor: Add a sprig of fresh mint for a refreshing touch.
• Warm Strawberries: Gently warm the strawberries with a touch of sugar and a squeeze of lemon juice for a slightly different experience.
• Layered: Layer the strawberries and whipped cream in a glass for a beautiful presentation.
