Printable Recipe

Ingredients

• 1 1/2 pounds fresh strawberries, cleaned and diced

• 1/4 cup granulated sugar

• 1 cup plain Greek Yogurt

• 1 cup half and half

• 1 teaspoon pure vanilla extract

Directions

1. Place diced strawberries in a large bowl and sprinkle with sugar; stir to coat.

2. At this point you can proceed with the recipe right away, but I usually allow the strawberries to macerate for about an hour until they exude their juice (don't discard the juice). Put everything in a blender (juice included) and puree until smooth.

3. Chill before serving.

Now for the design. This is how I made it. Sorry, no photos, but I’ll draw a diagram for you.

I used a squeeze bottle to add a circle of heavy cream to the top of my cold soup.

Then I swirled a toothpick through the cream in a circular pattern like this. In reality my swirls were much bigger - sorry, I can't draw to save my life, but you'll figure it out.

Voila! Now you try - prepare yourself for all the oooh and ahhhs.
