Top the whipped cream with a layer of sliced strawberries, arranging them attractively if presentation matters. The bright red hue will pop against the white cream, creating a visually appealing dessert.
Repeat the layering if your container allows—add more crumbs, more whipped cream, and a final layer of strawberries on top. Garnish with mint leaves or a drizzle of chocolate or caramel if desired, and serve immediately.
How to Make
To begin, select the freshest strawberries available. Bright red, plump berries with no signs of bruising offer the best taste and presentation. Fresh fruit is the highlight of this dessert, so quality matters.
Wash the strawberries thoroughly under cool running water and then dry them completely. Drying them is crucial to prevent the dessert from becoming watery once assembled. Excess moisture can quickly break down the structure of the layers.
Hull the strawberries by removing their green tops. You can use a knife or a hulling tool to do this quickly. Once hulled, slice the strawberries into thin, even pieces. These will stack better and mix well with the cream and crumbs.
