Ingredients
  

2 cups fresh strawberries, hulled and sliced

2 tablespoons granulated sugar

1 cup heavy whipping cream

1 tablespoon powdered sugar

1 teaspoon vanilla extract

1 cup graham cracker crumbs

4 tablespoons unsalted butter, melted

1 teaspoon lemon zest

Mint leaves for garnish (optional)

Instructions
 

Prepare the Strawberries:

    - In a bowl, combine the sliced strawberries and granulated sugar. Gently toss them together and let sit for about 15-20 minutes to macerate. This will help release their juices and enhance their flavor.

      Make the Whipped Cream:

        - In a mixing bowl, pour in the heavy whipping cream. Using an electric mixer or whisk, beat the cream until it starts to thicken.

          - Add the powdered sugar and vanilla extract, then continue beating until soft peaks form. Be careful not to overwhip; you want a light and airy consistency.

            Prepare the Cup Base:

              - In a separate bowl, mix the graham cracker crumbs, melted butter, and lemon zest until combined and slightly crumbly.

                - Divide this mixture into serving cups, pressing down lightly to form a base.

                  Assemble the Cups:

                    - Spoon a layer of the macerated strawberries over the graham cracker base in each cup.

                      - Add a generous dollop of the whipped cream on top of the strawberries.

                        - Repeat the layers until the cups are filled to your liking, finishing with a layer of whipped cream on top.

                          Garnish and Serve:

                            - If desired, top each cup with a fresh strawberry and a mint leaf for a pop of color and freshness.

                              - Serve immediately or refrigerate for up to an hour before serving for a chilled treat.
