whipping cream recipe Strawberry Coulis Ribbon Peaks
- Total Time: 60 minutes
- Yield: 8–10 servings 1x
- Diet: Vegetarian
Description
This Strawberry Coulis Ribbon Peaks recipe transforms everyday treats into something special, featuring a vibrant strawberry coulis swirled into airy whipped cream. It’s a naturally sweet, visually stunning, and family-friendly topping perfect for various desserts.
Ingredients
- 2 cups heavy whipping cream, very cold (organic recommended)
- 0.25 cup granulated sugar (for coulis)
- 0.25 cup granulated sugar (for cream)
- 1 tsp vanilla extract (pure recommended)
- 1 lb fresh strawberries (ripe, sweet, locally sourced recommended), hulled and chopped
- 1 tbsp lemon juice
Instructions
- Prepare Your Strawberry Coulis: Wash, hull, and chop 1 lb (450g) fresh strawberries. Combine with 0.25 cup (50g) sugar and 1 tbsp (15ml) lemon juice in a small saucepan. Simmer over medium heat for 10-15 minutes until berries soften and visibly thicken. Strain for a smooth texture, then cool completely in the fridge for at least 30 minutes. If coulis looks too thick, stir in 1-2 tsp water or extra lemon juice while warm.
- Whip the Cream to Perfection: Chill a large mixing bowl and whisk attachment for 15 minutes. Pour 2 cups (480ml) very cold heavy whipping cream into the bowl. Add 0.25 cup (50g) sugar and 1 tsp (5ml) vanilla extract. Beat on medium-high speed until stiff peaks are achieved (3-5 minutes total); the cream should look thick and hold its shape firmly.
- Create the Ribbon Peaks: Once coulis is completely cool, gently spoon about half over the whipped cream. Delicately fold and swirl the coulis into the cream, leaving distinct, inviting ribbons; do not fully combine. Dollop generously onto your favorite desserts, creating alluring peaks.
Notes
Do not over-whip cream, or it will become grainy and butter-like. Always ensure your coulis is completely cool before adding it to the whipped cream to prevent melting. Making coulis a day ahead ensures it’s perfectly chilled. For a lighter version, reduce sugar by up to half. For an extra rich twist, add a pinch of orange zest to the coulis as it simmers. Use very cold cream for best whipping results. For dairy-free alternatives, use chilled full-fat coconut cream or oat-based whipping cream.
