Steps:
- In a medium saucepan over medium heat, bring sugar, mint, and 2 tablespoons water to a boil.
- Remove from heat; steep 15 minutes.
- Strain through a fine-mesh sieve into a measuring cup, pressing to extract as much liquid as possible.
- Discard solids.
- Let cool (makes about a cup).
- Meanwhile, in a large bowl, whip cream until stiff peaks form.
- Gently fold in cup of a syrup (store any remaining syrup); if needed, re-whip cream to stiffen.
- Starting with strawberries, spoon alternating layers of strawberries and cream into four serving glasses. (You can use martini glasses or champagne flutes.).
- Top each with a mint sprig and chopped toasted almonds (optional).
- *You can also use the mint syrup to sweeten iced tea or lemonade. For a bracing cocktail, add a splash to a glass filled with seltzer, vodka, and lemon.

ROASTED STRAWBERRIES AND MINT CHANTILLY CREAM
Steps:
- Preheat the oven to 450 degrees. In an ovenproof skillet just large enough to hold the strawberries in one layer, melt the butter in the preheating oven, 2 to 3 minutes. Watch carefully so that the butter does not burn. Remove pan from oven and stir in 2 tablespoons of the sugar. The mixture will be grainy. Add the berries, tossing to coat with the butter and sugar. Spread in a single layer. Roast, stirring and turning once or twice, until the berries just begin to soften, about 5 minutes. Gently roll the roasted berries in the pan syrup to coat, then let them cool for about 5 minutes in the skillet.
- While the berries are roasting, whip the cream with the creme de menthe and remaining 1 tablespoon of sugar just until soft peaks form. Divide the chantilly cream among 4 shallow dessert bowls. Arrange the lukewarm berries in the chantilly cream, pointed ends up. Using a teaspoon, dribble the red pan glaze over the mint cream. Garnish with mint sprigs. Serve immediately.
STRAWBERRY FOOL
This Minimalist recipe is as basic as dessert gets, and especially in strawberry season it's just perfect. It is essentially fresh strawberries and whipped cream (substitute heavy cream, sour cream or yogurt). It can be eaten right away or refrigerated. Only a fool would pass this up.
