Whipped Strawberry Delight
This Whipped Strawberry Delight is filled with sweetened cream and luscious strawberries, a perfect treat to satisfy your sweet tooth!
Growing up, I was never a huge fan of sweets.
I would eat the occasional piece of candy or scoop of ice cream, but I always preferred the salty stuff. And even though I’m still not the biggest sweet-eater, I do love it more than I used to. Brownies, ice cream (I blame that on the hubster, as he eats ice cream practically every night), and cookies have found a more solid place in my heart.
One of my secret (or maybe not-so-secret-anymore) indulgences is whipped cream. I love that stuff!
Whenever I make hot chocolate, I pile it on. Put a slice of pie in front of me and I have whipped cream filling up the whole plate. It’s just one of those condiments that always in my refrigerator. I’ve even been known to sneak a spoonful (or three) just to satisfy my sweet tooth. Please tell me there are other whipped cream addicts out there, too?
And while I loved canned whipped cream (how could you not, right?), the homemade kind is even better. I don’t make it all that often, but when I do, you better believe that I savor every last dollop of that creamy white decadence.
Which leads me to today’s dessert…this Whipped Strawberry Delight I decided to make a festive Valentine’s Day treat for the hubster and I, featuring two of my favorites, strawberries and home-made whipped cream.
This Whipped Strawberry Delight is filled with sweetened cream and luscious strawberries, a perfect treat to satisfy your sweet tooth. Now, I’m not gonna lie, this dessert is not calorie-friendly or healthy in any way. It’s rich, creamy, and probably not a dish that you can eat every single day. But, because I’m all about moderation, we need to indulge every now and then, right?
This dessert is not only the perfect treat for Valentine’s Day, but it’s also so easy to make! This Whipped Strawberry Delight contains just four ingredients. Four! Heavy cream, sugar, vanilla, and strawberries. Pretty simple, huh?
The cream layer is made the same way that you would make home-made whipped cream.
However, instead of using powdered sugar, use regular white sugar to make it more dense. After the cream is whipped and fluffy, puree some strawberries. I chose to use frozen strawberries, which I thawed, but feel free to use the fresh kind if that’s what you have handy. After everything is set, layer the whipped cream and strawberries in a fancy glass, if you chose, and be prepared to have your taste buds wowed.
Once you try this Whipped Strawberry Delight, you’ll be amazed at how fast and easy this decedent treat came together. The sweet cream layer pairs perfectly with the strawberries, making each bite better than the next. And if you’re a whipped cream-aholic like me, then this might become your most favorite dessert!
Perfect to serve to your special Valentine or just because you have a sweet tooth, this creamy dessert will soon become a regular in your household.

You’re not a much of a sweets eater? But Gayle, you make so many delicious sweet things!
Love the ease of this. It’s classic!
I think I’m definitely in the minority, Mir! But I’m making up for it now! 🙂
I love the idea of making my own whipped cream! I bet I could even add different flavors to it like cinnamon if I really wanted to go crazy. But I do love vanilla so it’s a tough call. I can’t believe you prefer salty to sweet! I’m a sweet girl, unfortunately, that’s why I was always Pillsbury Dough Boy, or Girl for Halloween. I certainly filled out my costume!
I do like sweets more than I used to, though I might just take whipped cream over the salty stuff any day. Thanks for the kind words, Laura!
There’s seriously only FOUR ingredients standing between me and this gorgeous whipped goodness?! I’m sold. This looks absolutely amazing, Gayle! I love the color so much—so pretty and I REALLY just want to dig an XL spoon into my screen. 😀
Thanks for the kind words, Sarah! I totally want this for breakfast too, but I’m restraining myself! 🙂
Gayle, I love this dessert. . my husband loves strawberry desserts and I love how quick, easy and light this is! This Whipped Strawberry Delight will have to make an appearance soon!!! love this!
Thanks, Alice! I hope your husband loves this if you make it!
All you have to say is whipped and strawberries and I’m sold! This is my kind of dessert. I love that it is simple and delicious!
The perfect, easy dessert, right? 🙂 Thanks, Ashley!
This is so simple and heavenly. I love it Gayle! Wish I could say that I didn’t have much of a sweet tooth. But sweets are my BIG weakness!
Thanks, Liz! I do like sweets more than I used to, so I’m comin’ around! 🙂
Oooh, you’re just like my mom! She’s a whipped cream superfan. She’d gobble this up in two bites!
This is the perfect treat for whipped cream lovers, Sarah!
So so pretty, Gayle! My husband is the sweets lover in our family too but I do LOVE whipped cream and strawberries! I love how easy this is to whip up and it looks so cream y and delicious! Perfect dessert for Valentine’s Day!
Thanks so much, Kelly! This is the perfect combination for a lighter, sweet treat!
I love home made whipped cream, it so good. And this looks so delicious Gayle. My daughter will love this treat.
Thank you, Kathy!
I can eat buckets of whipped cream. It’s so awesome. (Weird fact – my daughter hates it. I have no idea how I got her.)
Love this, it’s so pretty!
Wow your daughter hates whipped cream?! I’ve never heard anyone not liking it before! 🙂 And I could totally eat this all day, every day! 🙂
I love whipped cream especially when it’s homemade! This dessert is so simple, I need to make it now!
Thanks, Jen!
Oh man, you know whipped cream is my jam! I do think you’re just a littttle crazy for not having a raging sweet tooth like me, but I guess we can still be friends 😉 . This looks AMAZING! Perfect for Valentine’s Day!
Haha thanks, Christine! I think I’m definitely in the minority for liking salty over sweet!
Oooh, this looks awesome. I have a pretty vicious sweet tooth, so I’m constantly on the hunt for lighter desserts! Though I love chocolate, sometimes you just want something whipped and frothy. Looks great!
Thanks, Meg! This is a perfect sweet treat, sans the chocolate!
I agree – there’s nothing like homemade whipped cream…and coupled with pureed strawberries – DREAMY!
Definitely, Annie! Thanks!
I am drooling over this. Homemade whipped cream is amazing isn’t it. I could seriously put that stuff on everything haha
Homemade whipped cream is the best ever! Thanks, Dannii!
I don’t eat sweets that much either, but my husband also loves them so much and always demands dessert! We always have a tub of ice cream in the freezer and I always get sucked into eating some! You are so right, homemade whipped cream is so much better and so good with strawberries! This looks so good, Gayle 🙂
Thanks, Izzy! My husband is an ice cream fanatic, too…I just go for the whipped cream!
Ahhhh!! This looks amazing!! I can understand the whipped cream love! My bestie LOVES whipped cream and she eats it with sprinkles instead of ice cream!! haha 🙂 great recipe!
Oh great idea, Cailee! I could eat a whole bowl of just whipped cream, too!
Perfect dessert for the Valentine’s Day <3!!
Thanks, Agness!
I wish I didn’t care about sweets much…I really do! Every single time I make fresh whipped cream, I eat a big spoonful before I even top my dessert with it. I love the stuff, and Cool Whip just can’t compare. 🙂 This dessert looks so heavenly and perfect for Valentine’s Day — it’s gorgeous! Pinned. 🙂
I do the exact same thing, Marcie! I actually sneak way more than just one spoonful, but who’s counting! 🙂 Thanks for the pin and kind words!
I’m like you, I just love homemade whip cream too! I can’t even remember the last time I bought the canned stuff. It’s so worth the extra few minutes to make it from scratch. This dessert looks delicious!
I agree, Natalie! It’s definitely worth the extra time for the homemade stuff. Thanks!
What a nice and easy dessert for V-Day! Looks tasty!! 🙂
This looks amazing Gayle! I love how simple this is and still looks so fancy and delicious! This would be perfect for Valentines day dinner! Yum! 🙂
So pretty and delicious looking! I love that it is simple too!! 🙂
Thanks, Renee!
Deeeelicious! I am actually not a huge fan of whipped cream (weird, right??), but if it’s homemade and involves strawberries, I am much more likely to indulge!
Homemade whipped cream is definitely better than the store bought kind, Sues! Thanks for the kind words!
Hi Gayle, I’m so glad to meet another whipped cream addict! I also prefer the real thing, but I will still squirt the stuff in the can straight into my mouth.
Me too, Rachelle! Homemade is definitely my favorite, but the canned kind is good, too! Thanks for stopping by!
OK, I officially just drooled a bit on my keyboard!!! This looks AWESOME, my dear!!
Haha thank you, Olivia!
These look so sweet. Plus the fact that it’s whipped makes it even more fun!
Thanks, Shelby!
This strawberry delight looks amazing Gayle! Two of my favorite things- whipped cream and strawberries, just can’t wait to try it! Pinned!
Thanks for the whipped cream love and pin, Mira!
Uh, I used to think there wasn’t a big difference between bought “whipped topping” and real whipped cream, but when you have the real stuff, you know there is! I could make it and eat it plain! This looks SO good!
Yes! Real whipped cream is so much richer and tastier. Thanks for the kind words, Ashley!
SOOO pretty! I love the white red color combo 😉 Valentine’s recipes are the best! so bright!
Thanks so much, Michele! I love the pretty colors for Valentine’s Day, too!
simple and delicious recipe, Gayle! I love strawberries in dessert, with whipped cream! can’t be better!! loving it! pinned!
Thank you, Savita! This is one of my favorite desserts!
There is nothing like homemade whipped cream! I don’t really love love the canned stuff but when I make it myself, I can’t back away! haha This looks awesome!
Me either! Homemade whipped cream holds a special power over me! 🙂 Thanks, Ashley!
Lol! I love whipped cream too! Homemade is so much more decadent and fresh, but I don’t discriminate a whole lot. Haha! This looks delicious!
Thanks, Sarah! Homemade is definitely the way to go, though I always keep some of the canned stuff on hand, too! 🙂
SO FUN that these are in wine glasses! And I’m a huge fan of whipped cream too. Pinning this 🙂
This looks like a perfect light and easy dessert! I love the vibrance of the strawberries in your photos Gayle! Beautiful. And I WISH I didn’t have such a sweet tooth, teach me your ways!
This looks ABSOLUTELY stunning! This is just SO pretty! I loved the white—red colors, perfect for valentine’s Day theme. Vibrant photos and and DELICIOUS recipe!!:-)
Thanks so much for the kind words and for stopping by! This is definitely a great Valentine’s Day treat!
I’ve been dreaming of this since I glanced at it the other day. There’s nothing like strawberries with whipped cream. Yum! Beautiful post, Gayle.
Thanks, Olivia! It’s simple but so full of flavor!
What an amazing treat for Valentines Day! Or any other day of the year, really… 😀 😀 😀
Thank you, Allie! I definitely think I could eat this year round!
I’d devour this in an instant. It looks so airy and delicate and yet loaded with flavor. And so simple to make!
Thanks so much, Oana! It’s my new favorite dessert!
You’re definitely not the only one who loves whip cream! I sometimes buy the tubs of cool whip and sneak a bite or two, and it’s always mandatory on pie! I love how easy and gorgeous this dish is too. Strawberries and whipped cream were made for each other 🙂 Pinned!
I do the same with cool whip too, it’s just so hard to resist! Thanks for the kind words and pin, Danielle!
This is so pretty! Such a perfect Valentine’s Day dessert! Fresh whipped cream is the BEST!
Thanks, Jess! I totally agree!
This looks right up my alley, Gayle! I love whipped cream, and often will make hot cocoa for my daughter and I just so I can pile on the whipped cream! I love how easy this dessert is, and it’s so pretty, too!
I pile on the whipped cream in hot chocolate, too! Thanks for the kind words, Kristine!
Oh yea, staring at this for 5 minutes is WAY better than doing my accounting homework! This looks amazing!
Thanks, Olga!
Yum! This recipe reminds me very much of Raspberry Fool which originated in England. The difference being, the Brits add in a little complimentary liqueur to the pureed fruit and then swirl the whipped cream and the fruit together before serving. Delicious either way, I’m sure.
Thank you, Amy! Yes, this is very similar to raspberry fool! The British version sounds delicious! Thanks for stopping by!
