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.
