Strawberries and Cream

It's Wimbledon time again, where everyone wears white, the lawn is always mowed, and visitors sit amongst royalty.

This year's tennis tournament will live up to the excitement: Federer and Nadal are ready to battle it out, as number 1 and 2 on the men's side; The Williams sisters are ready to kick some butt on the women's side.

How can we live in the excitement of the next 2 weeks? Two words: Strawberries & Cream.

While watching the matches, spectators get to indulge in the famous strawberries and cream by the pound. 60,000 pounds total for last year, in fact. Now we can too:



Strawberries and Cream Recipe (Serves 4)

1 pint strawberries
1/4 cup sugar
1 cup whip cream (heavy)

1. Place strawberries in bowl. Half 3/4 of strawberries and leave the rest whole.


2. Sprinkle sugar on strawberries and let sit for 30 minutes (so strawberries absorb sugar).


3. Whip the whip cream in a bowl.


4. Spoon strawberries in serving dishes and proportion out whip cream on top of each.

Vegan Whip Cream Recipe (Since this is what I eat. Just substitute this whip cream for the non-vegan one and follow the above recipe. Or buy a Vegan Whip Cream to make life easier...)

1 lb soft tofu
1 tsp vanilla extract
1/4 cup sugar
1/4 cup soymilk

1. Combine tofu, vanilla and sugar in blender until smooth. Gradually add soymilk. Use in recipe above or refrigerate

Enjoy!
