How to Make Better Than Sex Strawberries

  1. In a medium bowl, whisk together the heavy cream, powdered sugar, and vanilla extract until soft peaks form.
  2. Gently fold in the mascarpone cheese until smooth and creamy.
  3. In a separate bowl, whisk the egg yolk with the lemon juice until light and frothy.
  4. Slowly drizzle the egg yolk mixture into the cream mixture, whisking constantly until well combined.
  5. Carefully wash and hull the strawberries. Slice them in half or into quarters depending on size.
  6. Arrange a layer of strawberries in the bottom of your serving dish (a trifle bowl or individual glasses work well).
  7. Pour half of the cream mixture over the strawberries.
  8. Repeat layers of strawberries and cream mixture, ending with a layer of cream.
  9. Sprinkle with cocoa powder and garnish with extra strawberries or chocolate shavings (optional).
  10. Cover the dessert and refrigerate for at least 4 hours, or preferably overnight, to allow the flavors to meld.

Chef's Tip for Extra Flavor

Chef's secret: layers of flavor make a dish truly memorable! Consider what a little extra something could bring – perhaps a touch of acidity like a good vinegar or citrus zest, a hint of smokiness from paprika, a bit of umami from mushrooms or soy sauce, or a sprinkle of toasted nuts for texture. Experiment and taste as you go!
