- Start with the fruit: you should buy them the day before, then throw them in the fridge. Keep them intact rather than slicing them up.
- Either the night before or immediately before serving, rinse the strawberries to remove any possible nasties from them.
- Take a knife and decapitate the little tuft of green vegetation at the top of each strawberry.
- Next, the cream: either bust out the can of Readiwhip and just squirt away or make some decent stuff.
- The decent stuff is known formally as chantilly cream. Here's what you'll need to make it:
1 cup of whipping cream
3 tablespoons of powdered sugar
teaspoon of vanilla extract - In a bowl, whip the chilled cream until it stiffens up from a liquid into little peaks.
- Next, add the vanilla and powdered sugar slowly while you continue beating the cream. Voila!
- You can serve this mix in a simple bowl, though it looks best in glass-stemmed dishes. Just fill the bowl with strawberries and top it off with sinful amounts of the cream.
