Ingredients
  

2 cups frozen strawberries, thawed and roughly chopped

1/2 cup fresh lemon juice (about 2-3 lemons)

1 cup granulated sugar (adjust based on sweetness preference)

1 cup heavy cream

1 teaspoon vanilla extract

Zest of 1 lemon

Pinch of salt

Optional: fresh mint leaves for garnish

Instructions
 

Prepare the Strawberries: In a medium bowl, combine the thawed and chopped strawberries with half the sugar. Mix gently and set aside for about 10 minutes to allow the strawberries to release their juices.

    Make the Lemon Cream Mixture: In another large mixing bowl, add the heavy cream, the remaining sugar, fresh lemon juice, vanilla extract, lemon zest, and a pinch of salt. Using an electric mixer, whip the cream mixture on medium-high speed until soft peaks form, about 3-5 minutes. Be careful not to overwhip!

      Combine the Mixtures: Gently fold the strawberry mixture into the whipped cream, being careful not to deflate the cream too much. The goal is to have the strawberries evenly distributed through the creamy mixture.

        Prepare for Freezing: Spoon the creamy strawberry-lemon mixture into silicone molds, mini cupcake liners, or an ice cube tray (for smaller bites). Tap the container gently to eliminate any air bubbles and help the mixture settle.

          Freeze: Place the molds in the freezer for at least 4 hours, or until completely frozen. For best results, allow them to set overnight.

            Serve: Once frozen, pop the cream drops out of the molds or peel away the liners. Serve immediately as a refreshing treat. Garnish with fresh mint leaves if desired for an aromatic touch.
