I got this out of a gourmet dessert cookbook years ago and have been making it ever since. It's a lovely dessert whether it's served in individual wine glasses or as one dessert in a pretty bowl. It's especially refreshing in the summer.

10 oz frozen strawberries (do not thaw)
TOPPING
1 c heavy cream (whipping cream)

  • 7. After the Bavarian has set up, make the topping.
  • 8. In your chilled bowl, add the heavy cream, vanilla and powdered sugar.
  • 9. Whip the ingredients until the cream holds it shape.
