Cold, Heavy

When temperatures rise or you’re craving something sweet yet not overly filling, Strawberry Cloud Whip delivers gentle cooling and hydrating qualities for the body. Strawberries, with their mildly sour and sweet notes, help calm Pitta but remain balanced enough not to disturb Vata when paired with a creamy base. Whipping the cream brings airiness to the dish, which can be especially pleasing for Kapha types looking for a lighter dessert. For those seeking an even cooler profile, a small amount of mint or a drizzle of coconut milk can be added. This sugar-free approach keeps blood sugar spikes at bay, focusing on the natural fruit sugars found in the berries. Enjoy as a midday snack or an after-meal delight that supports a sense of lightness and ease.

Ingredients

  • 1 cup Whipping Cream (or coconut cream for a dairy-free option)

  • 2 cups Strawberries (fresh or frozen), or other fruit of your choice

Instructions

  1. Whip the Cream

    • In a glass or stainless steel bowl, whip the cream until it becomes thick and forms soft peaks.

    • If using coconut cream, make sure it’s chilled beforehand for best results.

  2. Blend the Fruit

    • Place the strawberries in a blender and pulse until they’re broken down into small pieces (or to your desired consistency).

  3. Fold & Serve

    • Gently fold the strawberry purée into the whipped cream, being careful not to over-mix so you retain a light, fluffy texture.

    • Serve immediately—or freeze briefly for a firmer consistency.


Chef’s Tips

  • Feel free to add a pinch of Mint, Vanilla or Cinnamon for extra flavor depth.

  • For those who like a bit more sweetness, a drizzle of Honey can be stirred into the cream before whipping.

  • Experiment with other fruits (like peaches or raspberries) for variety in color and taste.
