Homemade Strawberry Whipped Cream

Ingredients:

4 tablespoons sugar
2 cup heavy cream
2 teaspoon strawberry extract
Red food coloring (optional)

Directions:

1. Place a metal mixing bowl and your beaters in the freezer.
2. Remove and add the sugar, strawberry extract, and cream to the bowl.
3. Add a few drops of red food coloring to tint the cream pink. (optional – if you don’t care about the true pink color)
4. With your mixer on low, beat the cream until it thickens and you have stiff peaks.

To Assemble:

1. Fill the mason jar (I used 4oz jars) about ¾ of the way full with the pound cake cubes.
2. Top with whipped cream and fresh strawberries. Repeat with remaining dishes.
3. Garnish with a bit of orange zest, if desired.
4. Store in the refrigerator and serve cold.
