1 ½ cups frozen sweetened strawberries, pureed
12 ounces cream cheese
8 (1 ounce) squares white chocolate
1 cup heavy whipping cream

STRAWBERRY DREAM



Strawberry Dream image

The idea for this dessert didn't come to me in a dream but I was trying to think of a better name for a Strawberry Posset (which is what this actually is) but since very few people know what that is, I am calling it a Strawberry Dream. I think after trying it you'll agree that the name is totally appropriate. The boiled strawberry-infused cream and sugar filling firms up into a luxurious, pudding-like texture that when sandwiched between strawberry puree and macerated strawberries, tastes like a dream! Even though the portions are a bit small, the taste is rich and a little goes a long way.

Provided by Chef John

Time 4h45m

Yield 4

Number Of Ingredients 8

2 cups quartered fresh strawberries
1 tablespoon white sugar
½ cup white sugar
2 cups heavy cream
¼ teaspoon pure vanilla extract
¼ cup freshly squeezed lemon juice
⅔ cup diced fresh strawberries
1 tablespoon white sugar

Steps:

  • Prepare strawberry puree: Mix quartered strawberries and sugar in a 2-cup liquid measure or bowl. Let sit and macerate for 1 hour, stirring every 10 to 15 minutes. Use an immersion blender to blend into a smooth puree. Pass through a mesh strainer to remove seeds, if desired. Cover and refrigerate until needed.
  • Prepare cream mixture: Combine sugar and cream in a saucepan. Set heat to medium-high and bring to a boil while whisking occasionally; be careful, since cream can easily boil over. Once cream just starts to boil, reduce heat to between medium and medium-low and maintain a steady simmer. Simmer for 5 minutes.
  • Remove from the heat and whisk in vanilla, lemon juice, and 1/3 cup of the reserved strawberry puree until completely incorporated. Let cool for 10 to 15 minutes.
  • While the cream is cooling, pour the remaining strawberry puree evenly into 4 dessert glasses.
  • Pour the cooled cream mixture into the glasses. Wrap with plastic wrap and pop in the refrigerator until thoroughly chilled, 3 to 4 hours.
  • Meanwhile, prepare topping: Toss diced strawberries and sugar together in a small bowl. Wrap with plastic wrap and chill alongside the strawberry dreams.
  • When ready to serve, remove strawberry dreams and topping from the refrigerator. Stir the topping and spoon strawberries and any accumulated juices on top of each dream.

Categories     Dessert

Time 45m

Yield 1 cake, 10 serving(s)

Number Of Ingredients 14

10 ounces frozen whole strawberries (2 cups)
3/4 cup whole milk, room temperature
6 large egg whites, room temperature
2 teaspoons vanilla extract
2 1/4 cups cake flour
1 3/4 cups granulated sugar
4 teaspoons baking powder
1 teaspoon salt
12 tablespoons unsalted butter, cut into 12 pieces and softened
10 tablespoons unsalted butter, softened
2 1/4 cups confectioners' sugar
12 ounces cream cheese, cut into 12 pieces and softened
1 pinch salt
8 ounces fresh strawberries, hulled and sliced thin (about 1 1/2 cups)

Steps:

  • 2. Transfer strawberries to bowl, cover, and microwave until strawberries are soft and have released their juice, about 5 minutes. Place in fine-mesh strainer set over small saucepan.

Bring juice to boil over medium-high heat and cook, stirring occasionally, until syrupy and reduced to 1/4 cup, 6 to 8 minutes. Whisk milk into juice until combined.

Reduce speed to medium-low, add remaining milk mixture, and beat until incorporated, about 30 seconds. Give batter final stir by hand.
  • 4. Scrape equal amounts of batter into prepared pans and bake until toothpick inserted in center comes out clean, 20 to 25 minutes, rotating pans halfway through baking. Cool cakes in pans on wire rack for 10 minutes. Remove cakes from pans, discarding parchment, and cool completely, about 2 hours. (Cooled cakes can be wrapped with plastic wrap and stored at room temperature for up to 2 days.).
  • 5. For the frosting: Using stand mixer fitted with paddle, mix butter and sugar on low speed until combined, about 30 seconds. Increase speed to medium-high and beat until pale and fluffy, about 2 minutes. Add cream cheese, one piece at a time, and beat until incorporated, about 1 minute. Add reserved strawberry solids and salt and mix until combined, about 30 seconds. Refrigerate until ready to use, up to 2 days.
  • 6. Pat strawberries dry with paper towels. When cakes are cooled, spread 3/4 cup frosting over 1 cake round. Press 1 cup strawberries in even layer over frosting and cover with additional 3/4 cup frosting. Top with second cake round and spread remaining frosting evenly over top and sides of cake. Garnish with remaining strawberries. Serve. (Cake can be refrigerated for 2 days. Bring to room temperature before serving.).

Tips:

  • Choose the right strawberries: Fresh, ripe strawberries are essential for making the best strawberry dream. Look for berries that are bright red, plump, and have a sweet aroma.
  • Hull the strawberries properly: Hulling the strawberries removes the green caps and stems, which can be bitter and unpleasant to eat. Use a sharp knife or a strawberry huller to remove the hulls quickly and easily.
  • Macerate the strawberries: Macerating the strawberries in sugar helps to draw out their juices and create a delicious syrup. Allow the strawberries to macerate for at least 30 minutes before using them in your recipe.

  • Whip the cream until stiff peaks form: Whipped cream adds a light and fluffy texture to strawberry dream. Make sure to whip the cream until stiff peaks form, which means that the peaks of the whipped cream should hold their shape when you lift the whisk out of the bowl.
  • Chill the strawberry dream before serving: Chilling the strawberry dream allows the flavors to meld and the texture to firm up. Chill the strawberry dream for at least 2 hours before serving.
