Ingredients
Scale
- 1 cup fresh strawberries, sliced
- 1/2 cup fresh blueberries
- 1 cup heavy whipping cream
- 2 tablespoons powdered sugar
- 1 teaspoon pure vanilla extract
- Optional: fresh mint leaves for garnish
Instructions
- Rinse strawberries and blueberries under cold water. Slice the strawberries into thin, even pieces and pat berries dry with a paper towel.
- Chill your mixing bowl and whisk or beaters in the fridge for 10 minutes.
- Pour 1 cup of heavy whipping cream into the chilled bowl. Beat on medium speed until soft peaks form. Add 2 tablespoons powdered sugar and 1 teaspoon vanilla extract. Continue whipping until stiff peaks form, being careful not to overbeat.
- Layer the dessert in serving glasses or mason jars starting with a spoonful of whipped cream, then a layer of sliced strawberries, followed by whipped cream, then blueberries. Repeat layers and finish with a dollop of whipped cream on top.
- Garnish with fresh mint leaves if desired. Cover with plastic wrap and chill for at least 15 minutes or serve immediately.
Notes
Keep all ingredients and equipment cold for best whipped cream results. Stop whipping cream at stiff peaks to avoid turning it into butter. Use fresh berries for best flavor and texture. Frozen berries can be used if thawed and drained well. For dairy-free option, substitute heavy cream with coconut cream whipped with a sweetener.
