Ingredients
  

Main Ingredients
  • 2 cups fresh strawberries, sliced Choose ripe strawberries for best flavor.
  • 1 cup heavy whipping cream Ensure the cream is cold for better whipping.
  • 1/2 cup powdered sugar Can substitute with honey or another Halal-friendly sweetener.
  • 1 teaspoon vanilla extract Vanilla enhances the flavor of the whipped cream.
  • 1 cup crushed cookies or graham crackers (optional) For added texture and flavor.

Method
 

Preparation
  1. Wash the strawberries thoroughly and slice them into bite-sized pieces. Set aside in a bowl.
  2. In a mixing bowl, pour the heavy whipping cream. Beat on medium speed until soft peaks form (about 3-5 minutes).
  3. Gradually add the powdered sugar and vanilla extract to the whipped cream. Continue whipping until firm peaks are achieved.
Assembly
  1. Gently fold the sliced strawberries into the whipped cream mixture, being careful not to deflate the cream.
  2. If using crushed cookies or graham crackers, layer the dessert in individual serving cups. Start with a layer of cookies followed by a layer of strawberry cream, and repeat until cups are filled.
Chill and Serve
  1. Refrigerate the dessert for at least 30 minutes before serving to allow the flavors to meld together.
  2. Enjoy your Strawberry Cream Dessert cold.

Notes

Best enjoyed fresh but can be stored in the refrigerator for up to 2-3 days. Cover to prevent odor absorption. Avoid freezing as the texture of cream can change.
