Olive Oil Whipped Cream & Summer Strawberries
Recipe by Louis Tikaram
Ingredients
2 cups heavy cream
2 tablespoons icing sugar
3 tablespoons Squeaky Gate Extra Virgin Olive Oil
1 large punnet of ripe strawberries
1 bunch of Mint, ½ picked leaves ½ finely sliced
METHOD
Place a large glass mixing bowl in the refrigerator 1 hour before starting.
In your chilled glass mixing bowl use a handheld mixer to mix the heavy cream and icing sugar.
When the cream starts to form stiff peaks, turn the mixer to the lowest setting or whisk by hand and slowly drizzle in the olive oil. Mix just until the olive oil is incorporated.
Pop the olive oil whipped cream in the refrigerator while you prepare the strawberries.
Slice all the strawberries in half or quarter if large then arrange on a plate.
Sprinkle some chopped mint then add a huge dollop of olive oil whipped cream on the side, garnish with some more chopped mint along with some springs and leaves.
Add a swirl of olive oil then serve immediately.
