Ingredients

  • 2 cups heaving whipping cream
  • 2 tablespoons (14g) powdered sugar
  • 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
  • Zest from 1/2 lemon
  • 24 Lemon Madeleines
  • 1 pound fresh strawberries hulled and chopped

Instructions

  • Beat whipping cream in a large bowl with a hand or a stand mixer. While mixing, add the powdered sugar and vanilla. Beat until whipped cream forms.
  • Line the bottom of an 8x8” pan with 12 madeleines. Top with half the whipped cream. Add half the strawberries and the other 12 madeleines. Top with the rest of the whipped cream and the rest of the strawberries. Cover and chill at least 1 hour before serving. Best eaten the day it’s made.

Notes

  • Want more lemon flavor? Add in some lemon juice or lemon zest to the whipped cream. 
  • I buy boxes of madeleines at Costco because they come in bulk. If you can't find them, use pound cake or and cakes or cookies you find! Check the bakery section of your local grocery store.
  • Because this uses fresh whipped cream I recommend making it the day it's being served. To make it ahead of time, you can use 2 containers of whipped topping.
