Equipment
- Food Processor
- Spatula
- Measuring Cups and Spoons
- 4-ounce Serving Bowls
Ingredients
- 6.5 ounces strawberries about 9
- 3 tablespoon honey
- 2 tablespoon icing sugar
- ½ teaspoon xanthan gum
- ¼ cup Cool Whip
Instructions
- Puree strawberries, honey, icing sugar in a food processor, it will likely be a watery consistency.
- Add xanthan gum and mix well until it starts to thicken up (about 1-2 minutes).
- Pour into a medium bowl and add Cool Whip. Mix until combined.
- Portion into 2 4-ounce glasses (or one larger glass/bowl to garnish and add additional toppings), and chill in the fridge for 8 hours or overnight.
Notes
- When incorporating your Cool Whip it is important not to over mix. Too much mixing could make the texture grainy so be gentle to keep it smooth and creamy.
- If you are not familiar with xanthan gum, a little goes a long way. If you need to add more after adequate processing time, small increments is best.
- Light Corn Syrup can be used instead of honey but it is a bit more sweet.
- Instead of icing sugar you can use castor sugar.
- If you prefer to make your own version of Cool Whip you can use whipping cream and some added sugar for sweetness.
