Delicious Vanilla Cream and Strawberry Gel Filling

In a large mixing bowl, combine the *heavy cream*, *powdered sugar*, and *vanilla extract*. Use a hand mixer or a whisk to whip the mixture until it forms stiff peaks. This should take about 4-5 minutes.

Once whipped, carefully fold the cream to keep it light and airy. Ensure there are no lumps and the mixture is smooth. Set aside in the refrigerator to chill.

Start by washing and hulling the *fresh strawberries*. In a blender, puree the strawberries until smooth. Pour this puree into a saucepan and add the *sugar*.

Heat this mixture over medium heat, stirring occasionally until the sugar dissolves.* Meanwhile, dissolve the gelatin in a small bowl with warm water, then add it to the strawberry mixture. Stir well and bring to a gentle boil for about 3 minutes. Remove from heat and let cool.

After the gelatin has cooled slightly, take the vanilla cream from the refrigerator. In a piping bag or with a spoon, layer the *vanilla cream* and *strawberry gel* together in your desired serving dish or pastry. Start with a layer of cream, followed by a layer of gel.

Repeat this process until you reach the top of the dish, finishing with a layer of strawberry gel. Refrigerate for at least 2 hours before serving to enjoy the perfect texture and flavors.
