You’d be a fool to skip this dessert.

Ingredients

  • 1/2 cup trimmed and coarsely chopped fresh strawberries (about 4 medium)
  • 1 cup cold heavy cream
  • 3 tablespoons powdered sugar, divided
  • 1/2 teaspoon vanilla extract, 1/8 teaspoon almond extract, or both
  • 1 1/2 cups frozen raspberries
  • Sliced fresh strawberries, for garnish (optional)

Instructions

  1. Place 1/2 cup coarsely chopped fresh strawberries in the freezer while you prepare the other ingredients.
  2. Beat 1 cup cold heavy cream, 1 tablespoon of the powdered sugar, and 1/2 teaspoon vanilla extract with the whisk attachment in a stand mixer on medium speed until stiff peaks form, 5 to 6 minutes. (Alternatively, whisk in a large bowl by hand.) Refrigerate while you prepare the fruit.
  3. Pulse the chopped strawberries, 1 1/2 cups frozen raspberries, and the remaining 2 tablespoons powdered sugar in a food processor until finely chopped and resembles a coarse meal, 15 to 20 (1-second) pulses.
  4. Transfer to the bowl of whipped cream and gently fold together with a flexible spatula until just combined. Divide between 4 to 6 serving cups. Garnish with sliced strawberries if desired. Serve immediately.
