Instructions

Wash and pat dry the strawberries. Then, cut the tops off the strawberries and quarter.
Place the strawberries in a large bowl. Once all the strawberries are cut pour the sugar on top and mix.
Then, pour in heavy cream. Carefully mix until all strawberries are coated. Place plastic wrap on top of the bowl and refrigerator for at least one hour or up to 24 hours. Eat immediately.

Notes

Refrigeration Time - I have written this recipe for the strawberries to refrigerate for at least an hour. However, if you don't have an hour to wait or simply want to eat the strawberries and cream immediately you can. However; the cream might not be as sweet and full of the strawberry flavor. Letting the strawberries sit for an hour allows the sugar to break down the strawberries and letting out some of their juices.
Heavy Cream - I have never tried this recipe using anything other then heavy cream. I think it's crucial for the rich thick cream flavors.
Strawberries - This recipe only works with fresh strawberries. Do not try using frozen strawberries. They will not hold up to the cream and will just be mushy.
Leftovers - If you have any leftover Strawberries and Cream store in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 1-2 days at most.
