Strawberry Cream Recipe

 

History and stories behind every dish intrigues me. Did you know strawberry and cream existed way back in 1500? A famous British Newspaper (Independent) first happen to publish the history about this combination. Yes strawberries and cream were first served together in 1509, when Cardinal Thomas Wolsey paired them at a banquet during Henry VIII's reign. The combination stuck and nearly 400 years later was among the offerings at the first Wimbledon tournament in 1877. This combination is still served at Wimbledon and fans happen to love the dessert on a hot summers day. I don't know how they prepared whipped cream back in 1500 but for my concoction, I conveniently used whipped cream powder to make things simple.

The strawberries will soften in sugar and most of the moisture from berries will combine with sugar and form a syrup.
