- 4 cups fresh strawberries hulled and sliced
- 1 cup heavy whipping cream
- 1/2 cup powdered sugar
- 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
- 1 cup all-purpose flour
- 1/2 cup unsalted butter softened
- 1/2 cup brown sugar
- 1/2 teaspoon baking powder
- salt pinch
Prep the Strawberries: Start by washing the strawberries under cool running water. Hull and slice them, placing them in a bowl. For extra sweetness, feel free to sprinkle a tablespoon of sugar and allow them to macerate for about 10-15 minutes.
Make the Whipped Cream: In a large mixing bowl, combine the heavy whipping cream, powdered sugar, and vanilla extract. Using a hand mixer or whisk, whip until soft peaks form. Set aside.
Prepare the Crisp: In another bowl, mix the flour, brown sugar, baking powder, and salt. Add the softened butter, and work it in with your hands or a pastry cutter until the mixture resembles coarse crumbs.
Assemble: Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C). Spread the sliced strawberries evenly in a serving dish. Top them with the prepared crisp mixture, ensuring an even distribution.
Bake and Serve: Bake for 20-25 minutes or until the crisp is golden brown. Once out of the oven, allow it to cool slightly. Serve warm or at room temperature, topped with a generous dollop of whipped cream.
