Ingredients

STRAWBERRY COMPOTE

  • 315 grams (2 cups) strawberries
  • 100 grams (1/2 cup) sugar
  • 2 tbsp lemon juice

  • 1/4 tsp vanilla extract

ADDITIONAL COMPONENTS

Instructions

  • Make kagecreme ahead of time and chill in the fridge until you are ready to use.
  • Bake makroner (crunchy almond cookies) according to our recipe. You can also use a vanilla flavored cookie for this if you don't have time to make cookies from scratch! The best cookie for this is crunchy and not soft.
  • Make a strawberry compote by adding strawberries, sugar, lemon juice, and a pinch of salt to a saucepan.

  • Cook over medium-low heat until the strawberries have broken down and the mixture has thickened slightly, about 15 minutes.

  • Prepare whipped cream by adding heavy cream, powdered sugar, and vanilla extract to the bowl of a stand mixer with the whisk attachment. Whip until you have reached stiff peaks. You can also whip this by hand with a whisk, or use a handheld mixer.
  • Cut fresh strawberries into quarters for assembly.
  • To assemble, grab your desired glasses or singular large bowl. We made 4 of these with the glasses that we used (the size of a whiskey glass). Add about 2 tablespoons of kagecreme to the bottom of each glass, or distribute evenly amongst all the glasses you are using (or add as much to your desired taste).

  • Add a layer of strawberry compote, dividing evenly between the individual glasses or to taste.
