Ingredients

Scale

Fresh Strawberries Layer

  • 2 cups fresh ripe strawberries, washed, hulled, and thinly sliced
  • 1 tablespoon fresh lemon juice
  • 1–2 teaspoons honey or sugar, to taste

Cream Layer

  • 1 cup heavy whipping cream
  • 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
  • 1 tablespoon powdered sugar or to taste
  • Optional: 2 tablespoons Greek yogurt (for a lighter, tangier cream)

Base Layer

  • 1 cup graham crackers, crushed (or sponge cake slices)

Instructions

  1. Prepare the Fresh Strawberries: Wash the strawberries thoroughly, hull, and slice them thinly to ensure every bite is juicy and flavorful. Toss the sliced strawberries lightly with fresh lemon juice and drizzle with honey or sugar to enhance their natural sweetness.
  2. Whip the Cream: Whip the heavy cream until soft peaks form. Add vanilla extract and powdered sugar, then gently fold in Greek yogurt if desired, for extra tang and lightness.
  3. Prepare the Base Layer: Crush graham crackers or slice sponge cake to create a textured base. Evenly distribute a thin layer at the bottom of your serving dish or individual cups to add contrast to the creamy and fruity layers.
  4. Assemble the Layers: Spread a layer of whipped cream over the base layer, followed by a generous layer of the prepared strawberry slices. Repeat the layering of cream and strawberries, finishing with a fluffy layer of whipped cream on top.
  5. Chill and Serve: Refrigerate the assembled Strawberry Delight for at least 1 hour to allow the flavors to meld and the dessert to set. Serve chilled for the best taste and texture.

Notes

  • Use fresh, in-season strawberries for optimum flavor and sweetness.
  • Avoid over-sweetening to let the natural flavors shine.
  • Serve chilled to enhance the refreshing qualities of the dessert.
  • Layer ingredients carefully to achieve a beautiful striped presentation.
  • Prepare a few hours in advance to allow flavors to meld and improve taste.
