Strawberries and cream a.k.a heaven!

Okay people! Strawberries are here. You can make this fancy, 5-star-restaurant, complicated- tongue- twisting- name -on -the- menu looking dessert. Only it's not even close to complicated.

What you need :
Strawberries, cut into small pieces 250 g
Powdered sugar, 1/2 cup
Strawberry syrup
Strawberry ice cream
Powdered Marie biscuits
Whipping cream/double cream, 250 g
Icing sugar to taste
Vanilla essence , 1/2 tsp
Brandy glasses, optional

To make the strawberry syrup or compote you need to put some chopped strawberries (180 g) in a hot deep-cooking thick bottom pot (deep kadhai). Immediately add powdered sugar to this and let it simmer on slow flame. Switch it off when the mixture looks blood red in color and is reduced. You can store this in the freezer and use it as jam or on a cake as icing or with muffins or eat just like that to satisfy your sugar craving.

Take some whipping cream or double cream and beat it with icing sugar and vanilla essence. You have to keep one thing in mind while making this dessert, it should not be over sweet. So i would suggest to keep the whipped cream medium sweet. Let it chill in the fridge for some time.

Now take your brandy glass and start layering
