Ingredients

  • ½ cup heavy cream
  • 2 tablespoons powdered sugar
  • 1 cup sliced fresh strawberries
  • 3 tablespoons sugar
  • 2-3 cups vanilla ice cream
  • White chocolate for grating
  • Mint for garnish optional

Instructions

  • Beat the heavy cream and powdered sugar until soft peaks form, set aside in fridge until needed
  • Add the strawberries and sugar to a medium saucepan and heat, stirring frequently, over medium heat 8-10 minutes, or until strawberries are bubbly and soft
  • Mash strawberry sauce until desired consistency is reached, then allow to chill in fridge at least 20 minutes
  • Place a generous dollop of whipped cream on a plate, the use a potato ricer to squish the ice cream out on top
  • Add the strawberry sauce and grate some white chocolate on top to finish
  • Garnish with mint if desired and serve immediately

Notes

  • You can substitute shredded coconut for grated white chocolate to look like Parmesan cheese.
  • Keep all the elements to this dessert as cold as possible before assembly. I even recommend putting the serving plate in the freezer before use.
  • To get the strawberry sauce to be the right consistency you may need to add a tablespoon or so of water during the cooking process.
  • Mash the strawberries with a rubber spatula, immersion blender, or even a food processor.
