Ingredients
1 cup heavy whipping cream (or coconut cream for dairy-free)
2 tbsp powdered sugar (or more to taste)
1/4 cup freeze-dried strawberries, crushed into powder
1/2 tsp vanilla extract
Instructions
- Place the mixing bowl and beaters (or whisk attachment) in the freezer for 10–15 minutes to chill.
- Pour the heavy cream into the chilled bowl and whip on medium speed until it begins to thicken.
- Add the powdered sugar, crushed freeze-dried strawberries, and vanilla extract to the bowl.
- Continue whipping until stiff peaks form, being careful not to overbeat.
- Serve immediately or store in the fridge for up to 2 days. Re-whip lightly before serving if needed.
Notes
Use full-fat coconut cream for a dairy-free version.
Increase powdered sugar to 3 tbsp for a sweeter version.
Add lemon or orange zest for a citrus twist.
Mix in cocoa powder for a chocolate-strawberry variation.
Include a hint of basil or mint for herbal flavor.
Store in an airtight container in the fridge for up to 2 days. Re-whip before serving if needed.
Do not freeze, as it affects the texture.
