Step-by-Step Instructions
To start, I wash and prepare my strawberries, hull them, and slice them up. If you’re feeling adventurous, drizzle a bit of lemon juice over them to enhance the flavor. While the strawberries are resting, I grab my mixing bowl and start whipping the heavy cream. I add in the powdered sugar and vanilla extract until soft peaks form. The smell of sweetened cream is so enticing, I can hardly wait to taste! (See the next page below to continue steps…)
