Strawberry Swirl Cream Cup

Ingredients

  • Heavy Whipping Cream: 2 cups (chilled)

  • Sweetened Condensed Milk: 1 can (14 oz)

  • Fresh Strawberries: 2 cups (divided: 1 cup diced, 1 cup sliced for garnish)

  • Vanilla Extract: 1 teaspoon

  • Granulated Sugar: 1 tablespoon (for macerating diced berries)

Instructions

  1. Prepare the Strawberries: In a small bowl, toss the 1 cup of diced strawberries with the sugar. Let them sit for 15 minutes to release their natural juices. Mash them slightly with a fork to create a chunky sauce.

  2. Whip the Cream: In a large, chilled mixing bowl, whip the heavy whipping cream until stiff peaks form. Be careful not to over-whip, or it may turn to butter.

  3. Combine: In a separate bowl, whisk together the sweetened condensed milk and vanilla extract. Gently fold this mixture into the whipped cream using a spatula until fully combined.

  4. Swirl: Pour one-third of the cream mixture into your serving cups or a freezer-safe container. Drizzle some of the strawberry sauce over it. Repeat the layers, gently swirling with a knife to create a marble effect.

  5. Freeze: Cover and freeze for at least 6 hours, or until firm.

  6. Serve: Scoop the mixture into clear cups to recreate the layered look. Top with a generous amount of fresh sliced strawberries and an extra drizzle of the sauce if desired.

Pro-Tip: For the smoothest consistency, ensure your heavy whipping cream is cold straight from the refrigerator. This allows it to hold the air bubbles, resulting in a lighter, fluffier dessert. Enjoy your homemade treat!
