Strawberry cream is an easy dessert you can whip up for your family or a get together. It is also popular dessert served in North India (Pune). Simpler version of Strawberry ice cream.
I got this inspiration to try this recipe after watching a Youtube video, where they had this in Mumbai street food episode. A must try recipe when strawberries are in season.
When I tried strawberry lassi, I added a dash of cream to it and Vj told it was too yummy. We both were discussing how yummy the one we saw in the video would have been with Strawberries and cream.
So we bought another box of fresh strawberries and tried this.
I added to my (never ending) to eat list. I still have one more recipe to share and I am done with strawberry recipes. And hope my strawberry craving also is done with that!
This is basically a 3 ingredient recipe. All you need is strawberries, whipping cream or heavy cream, sugar. I don’t like to use artificial flavor or color as the mild flavor/ color is pleasant to eat anyways.

- 10 fresh strawberries large
- ¼ cup sugar
Instructions
- First clean the strawberries. Cut off the green part along a small portion attached to it.
- Reserve 6 for puree.
- Slice the rest of strawberries for serving. I slice the sides off and chop for layering. Other large middle slices, I use for serving.
- Place clean strawberries, sugar in a mixie. Grind smoothly. Divide a small portion (3-4 tablespoon for serving) and keep aside.
- Take whipping cream in a mixing bowl. I place my bowl over cold water to fasten the whipping process.
- Start beating with a electric hand mixer. keep whipping in circular motion covering all the cream until you get stiff peaks. Do not over beat. I took some ¼ cup of fresh cream for topping. It's optional.
- Add the fresh strawberry puree to it and fold to mix in the strawberry.
- To serve: Take a tall serving glass. First I add a dash of strawberry puree. Then start with strawberry slices arranging in the sides if the glass as shown.
- Fill half way with strawberry cream. Top it with fresh chopped strawberries, little puree and again arrange sliced strawberries along the sides of the glass.
- Fill the cream and top it with again strawberry cream, fresh strawberries, puree.
- Finish with whipped cream, a dash of puree and a slice of strawberry.
- Chill before serving. Serve within 3-4 hours.
Notes
- You can boil the puree until shiny and a nice glaze is seen. Cool down and store and use when needed.
- If you have cream stabilizing issues, use icing sugar in place of sugar (use more quantity) as it has corn flour in it, it will help in stabilizing the cream.
- Portion control as it is full of cream (tread it just like icecream)
