Strawberries & Cream

Last week when I was making the Feta Chicken Pasta, I decided it needed something to go with it... I had bough strawberries for freezer jam and had so left over so I was anxious to eat them! I really LOVE strawberries, strawberries and blueberries. Yum. I decided to whip up some whipping cream to go with the strawberries. Of course plain whipping cream is too boring, so I added some stuff to it, and it was pretty good. The next day I had bought more strawberries and decided to make it again, with a few tweaks and it turned out so delicious. It is really pretty easy to make and wonderful to eat... I think I need to go buy strawberries now.

Strawberries & Cream

In a medium bowl, add 2/3 cup whipping cream (I use heavy whipping cream).

Start whipping the cream.

Whip until the cream starts to get fluffy.

The cream will still be a little runny. Add 2-4 Tbsp sugar (you can add more as you make it to taste.)

1/4 cup strawberry jam (this was the freezer jam I had made the day before...)

Add 1 Tbsp lime juice

And 1 Tbsp lemon juice.

Beat until fluffy. There are two ways that I have served this so far... 

First, I mixed the cream and diced strawberries together and sprinkled with finely grated chocolate and a strawberry fourth on top.

The other way was a layered dish. I started with whipping cream, and then strawberry slices.

Repeating the layers.

Cream mixture, strawberries, cream mixture, strawberries...

Ending with the cream mixture on top and a decorative strawberry flower.

Enjoy!
