Ingredients

  

1x2x3x

• 350 g frozen strawberries (about 2 cups) or ripe fresh strawberries
• 2-3 tbsp maple syrup or honey (adjust to taste)

• Cook the Strawberries:

  Place the frozen (or fresh) strawberries in a medium pot over low heat. Warm them gently for about 10 minutes, stirring occasionally, until defrosted and heated through. Avoid boiling. Test by squishing a few berries against the side of the pot—they should be soft.

  Stir in the maple syrup (or honey) and vanilla extract. Remove from heat.
• Blend Until Smooth:

  Let the strawberry mixture cool slightly, then pour it into a powerful blender. Blend until silky smooth.
• Store:
