How to prepare Strawberry Chantilly Cup

To prepare the strawberry chantilly cup, start with the coulis: wash the strawberries, remove the stems 1, and then cut them into chunks 2. Transfer the strawberries to a pot and add the sugar 3.

Add the water 4, stir 5, and turn on the heat to medium-high 5. Cook for about 15 minutes: the strawberries should break down and thicken. Once done, blend with an immersion blender 6.

Transfer the coulis to a bowl, cover with plastic wrap, and let it cool in the fridge 7. In the meantime, focus on the crumble: in a bowl, combine almond flour, all-purpose flour 8, and sugar 9.

Also add the cold butter cubes from the fridge 10 and knead all the ingredients with your hands 11. Crumble the mixture directly onto a baking tray lined with parchment paper 12.

Make sure to space the pieces out well, then bake at 350°F in static mode for about 30 minutes 13. Once baked, let the crumble cool. Meanwhile, cut the remaining strawberries in half (or into quarters if very large) and season with a little oil 14. Set them aside and focus on the chantilly: in a bowl, pour the cream and powdered sugar 15.

Add the vanilla extract 16 and start whipping with electric beaters 17. When you achieve a semi-whipped consistency, add 3 tablespoons of the now-cold strawberry coulis 18.

Briefly whip again by hand 19 to blend the mixture evenly 20. You are ready to assemble your cups: put the cooled crumble at the base 21.

Then add the strawberry chantilly 22 and create a well in the center with the moistened back of a spoon 23, then fill it with more coulis 24

Garnish with fresh strawberries 25 and a few more drops of coulis, then finish with fresh mint leaves 26. Your strawberry chantilly cup is ready to be enjoyed 27!

Storage

The strawberry chantilly cup should preferably be consumed right after assembly to maintain the correct consistency of all the elements; if necessary, you can keep it in the refrigerator for a few hours.

The crumble can be stored at room temperature in an airtight container for a week.

The chantilly and coulis can be stored in the refrigerator for 1-2 days; remember to whip the cream again before serving.

Tip

You can also make this delicious spoon dessert with a mixed berry flavor using blueberries, blackberries, and raspberries!

For a lighter version, try replacing the whipped cream with plain Greek yogurt.
