Ingredients:
- 1 cup (150g) fresh strawberries, hulled and minced
- 1 tsp (5ml) lemon juice
- 1 tbsp (12g) granulated sugar
- 1 cup (240ml) heavy whipping cream, chilled
- 3 tbsp (24g) powdered sugar
- 1 tsp (5ml) pure vanilla extract
- 1 pinch (0.5g) kosher salt
Instructions:
- Blend the minced strawberries and lemon juice until completely smooth.
- Pour the puree into a small saucepan with granulated sugar. Simmer over medium-low heat for 8-10 minutes, stirring frequently, until the volume is reduced by half and the mixture looks like a thick syrup.
- Transfer the concentrate to a bowl and refrigerate until completely cold.
- Place the mixing bowl and beaters in the freezer for 15 minutes before starting.
- Pour the chilled heavy whipping cream, powdered sugar, vanilla extract, and salt into the frozen bowl.
- Beat on low speed to avoid splashing, then increase to medium-high until stiff peaks form.
- Take a spoonful of the whipped cream and stir it vigorously into the cold strawberry concentrate to lighten it.
- Gently fold the lightened strawberry mixture into the main bowl of whipped cream using a rubber spatula.
- Use a cut-and-fold motion until the color is uniform and the texture remains airy.
