Preparing the Strawberry Sauce/Coulis

Begin by washing and hulling your strawberries. If you're using fresh strawberries, blend them to a puree consistency. For a smoother sauce, strain to remove seeds. Add sugar and optional lemon juice to the pureed strawberries and cook over medium heat until the sugar is fully dissolved and the sauce thickens slightly. Allow to cool.

Whipping the Cream

In a mixing bowl, beat the heavy cream (or whipped cream) until stiff peaks form. For a hint of sweetness and depth, incorporate granulated sugar and a dash of vanilla extract towards the end of whipping.

Assembly

Gently fold in the cooled strawberry sauce with the whipped cream, leaving some streaks for a marbled effect. Serve in glasses or bowls, layering with additional strawberry sauce if desired. Chill in the refrigerator for at least an hour before serving.
