Ingredients

  • 2 cups fresh strawberries
  • 2 tablespoons granulated sugar
  • 1 tablespoon balsamic vinegar
  • 1 cup heavy cream
  • 2 tablespoons powdered sugar
  • 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
  • 4 leaves mint leaves (optional, for garnish)

Directions

Step 1

Rinse and hull the strawberries, then slice them into quarters.

Step 2

In a medium bowl, combine the sliced strawberries with granulated sugar and balsamic vinegar. Mix well and let them macerate for at least 10 minutes, or up to 30 minutes, to allow the flavors to meld.

Step 3

In a large mixing bowl, combine heavy cream, powdered sugar, and vanilla extract.

Step 4

Using a hand mixer or a whisk, whip the cream mixture until it forms soft peaks. Be careful not to over-whip, as the cream can turn grainy.

Step 5

Divide the macerated strawberries evenly among serving glasses or bowls.

Step 6

Top the strawberries with a generous dollop of whipped cream.

Step 7

Garnish with a fresh mint leaf for a pop of color and added freshness, if desired.
