Step by step instructions
Wash the strawberries very well, remove the green stem end and slice inhalves or quarters. If the strawberries are small or medium sized, you can just slice them in halves but if they are larger in size, you can slice in quarters.
Keep the sliced strawberries in a large bowl. Add one tablespoon of sugar and mix well to combine with the strawberries.
In a different bowl, add the heavy whipping cream.
Also add the remaining one tablespoon of sugar and vanilla extract to the heavy cream, mix well until the sugar dissolves.
Pour this prepared cream sugar mixture over the sugared strawberries.
Seve the strawberries and cream in serving bowls or glass cups topped with heavy whipped cream and more fresh strawberries as you like!
If there is any leftovers, you may store the strawberries and cream in the refrigerator, however, the cream may slightly separate as it sits for a while so you need to stir the contents using a spoon just before serving.
You can also serve this simply without any additional whipped cream topping. Just add in some fresh strawberries for topping if you like, to keep it more simple and for lesser calories.
If you add whipped cream topping, always add the whipped cream just before serving the dessert for the best results.
Also you may simply stir in more cream or top with more cream as you wish!
As mentioned earlier, once the dessert is made, enjoy it immediately for the best results as the cream may turn watery over time. So make sure to enjoy it quickly!
