Ingredients
  

  • 2 ½ cups fresh strawberries hulled
  • ½ cup + 1 teaspoon granulated sugar
  • vanilla bean
  • 1 cup whipping cream

Instructions

  • Cut 1/2 cup strawberries into small pieces and sprinkle with 1 teaspoon sugar. Set aside.
  • Add remaining 2 cups of strawberries and 1/2 cup of sugar to a food processor and process until smooth. Transfer to a fine mesh sieve and push through releasing the liquid into a clean bowl. Discard solids. Set aside 3 tablespoons in a small dish, and refrigerate remaining puree until ready to use.
  • Into the bowl of a stand mixer (or using a hand mixer and large bowl) add whipping cream, seeds from the vanilla bean, and reserved 3 tablespoons of strawberry puree. Whip on medium high until soft peaks form.
  • Assemble by dividing sugared strawberry bits into 4 dessert cups, divide the strawberry puree pouring over the strawberries. Add 1/4 of whipped cream mixture on top of each. Garnish with a fresh sliced strawberry and refrigerate until ready to serve.

Notes

If you don't have a food processor, simply use a potato masher, and mash the strawberries and sugar until as smooth as possible before pushing them through a fine mesh sieve and discard solids, reserving liquid.
