Ingredients

1 cup heavy cream
2 tablespoons powdered sugar
1 teaspoon vanilla extract
¾ pound strawberries
2-3 tablespoons brown sugar, depending on the sweetness of your berries
½ teaspoon lemon zest

Instructions

Hull and quarter the strawberries and place in a bowl with the brown sugar and lemon zest. Let sit for 10 minutes to macerate.
Whip the cream, powdered sugar and vanilla using a whisk or beaters until thickened. You want the whipped cream to be fairly thick, but make sure to stop before it turns into butter.
Puree the strawberries using a food processor or blender, or mash with a potato masher until broken down. Add this to the whipped cream, folding it in with a spatula.
Divide the mixture into six bowls or glasses and refrigerate for 1-2 hours before serving..
