Fresh strawberries macerated with sugar and vanilla, crowned with whipped cream for a quick and charming treat.

# Ingredients Required:

→ Fruits

01 - Fresh strawberries, 300 grams

→ Sweeteners & Flavor

02 - Granulated sugar, 50 grams
03 - Vanilla extract, 5 milliliters

→ Dairy

04 - Whipped cream, 240 milliliters

# Detailed Directions:

01 - Rinse strawberries thoroughly under cold water, hull to remove green tops, pat dry, and place on a cutting board.
02 - Cut the strawberries into even slices and transfer them to a mixing bowl to ensure uniform maceration and presentation.
03 - Sprinkle granulated sugar and pour in vanilla extract over the sliced strawberries. Gently mix to coat without crushing the fruit.
04 - Allow the mixture to rest at room temperature for 15 minutes so the sugar extracts natural juices forming a light syrup.
05 - Spoon the macerated strawberries into serving glasses or bowls and top generously with whipped cream. Serve immediately.

# Helpful Advice:

01 - To enhance flavor, use ripe, fresh strawberries at their peak sweetness.
