How to Make the Elegant Strawberries a la Ritz

heavy cream

🥗Healthier: Greek yogurt

💰Cheaper: whipped topping

Greek yogurt reduces calories while maintaining creaminess

Cut the strawberries in half and layer them in a bowl.

Sprinkle 1 tablespoon of sugar over the first half of the strawberries.

Layer the remaining strawberries on top and refrigerate for about 30 minutes to allow the sugar to dissolve and sweeten the strawberries.

Prepare the topping by making a strawberry and raspberry puree, straining out the seeds.

In a mixing bowl, add heavy cream and begin whipping it with a whisk.

Add some sugar to the cream (only part of the amount) and continue whipping until it thickens to stiff peaks.

Add vanilla extract to the whipped cream and mix until combined.

Fold in the previously prepared strawberry and raspberry puree gently into the whipped cream.

Taste the mixture and add more sugar if needed, then fold gently to combine without losing too much air.

Spoon the pink cream mixture over the macerated strawberries in the serving dish.

Garnish with sliced strawberries, raspberries, and a mint leaf.
