1. Prepare the Strawberries
Begin by washing and slicing your fresh strawberries. Place them in a bowl and add 1/4 cup of granulated sugar and 1 tablespoon of lemon juice. Stir gently to coat the strawberries evenly, and allow them to macerate. This will release their natural juices, creating a sweet strawberry syrup perfect for layering.
2. Whip the Cream
In a chilled mixing bowl, pour in 2 cups of heavy whipping cream. Add 1/2 cup powdered sugar and 1 teaspoon vanilla extract. Whip on medium speed until soft peaks form. Be careful not to over-whip, as the cream can turn into butter. Set aside.
