Since Mother’s Day is nearing, I thought I’d create a super
simple—yet tasty treat that you can make for Mom’s day; or, for any other special
occasion. I’m using very basic home ingredients, and a very cool ingredient—edible
glitter. I don’t think that edible glitter is used enough on treats, haha, and
I want to start incorporating it more into special event treats. Here’s how I
made it: I cut some fresh strawberries, and placed them into a bowl, added
about a tbsp. of sugar, and half of a lemon (juice)—and set that aside. Next I wanted to make some homemade whipped cream
with a little bit of color to show that this treat would have hints of lemon in
it (silly I know, but it’s fun for me, haha). So, I used some heavy
whipping cream, confectioners’ sugar, and a few drops of yellow food coloring. Then
I whipped them together until I formed soft peaks. Once that was done, I added
two scoops of vanilla bean ice cream into a cup, added the strawberry mixture,
and topped it off when the yellow whipped cream. Lastly, I took some 24k gold
sugar (edible glitter) and sprinkled it over the top—and I was finished! This tasted SO good,
you have no idea.
What do you think? Doesn't it look so awesome? It tasted as good as it looks too, haha. I’m going to
be using this more often—especially for parties. Also, later today, I’m going to announce
the winner from last Friday’s post, so if you commented to win check back later
to see if you won! Have a great day.
