Expert Tips

• Whisking cream - I usually whisk cream until it becomes thick and smooth in texture. Do not over beat as it may turn too stiff and heavy.
• Strawberry puree - I blend strawberries smooth and it mixes well in cream mixture. You can keep it bit chunky if you want more bite.
• Mixing properly - I fold gently after adding puree so mixture stays light and airy, mixing too fast loses texture.
• Freezing time - I freeze it for at least 8 hours or overnight for proper setting. Less time may not set properly and may affect texture.
• Serving texture - I take it out few minutes before serving and it helps to scoop easily. It becomes soft and easy to serve.
