Serves 4 – 6 Ingredients

  1. Store-Bought Sour Cream Pound Cake Loaf, cut into ¼ inch slices

  2. 1 pound strawberries, divided

  3. 1/2 cup fresh blueberries

  4. ½ cup sugar, plus 3 tablespoons, divided

  5. 1 tablespoon fresh lemon juice

  6. 1 cup cold heavy whipping cream

  7. 2 teaspoons pure vanilla extract

  8. Fresh mint, garnish

For the Macerated Berries

  1. ½ pound fresh strawberries, sliced

  2. ½ cup fresh blueberries

  3. ¼ cup sugar

In a medium bowl, mix the berries with the sugar and set aside until ready to use. Allow the ingredients to marry for at least 15 minutes.

For the Strawberry Coulis

  1. ½ pound strawberries, hulled and quartered

  2. ¼ cup sugar

  3. 1 Tablespoon fresh lemon juice

Combine all ingredients in a stockpot and stir to combine. Bring to a boil over medium heat, and let the mixture simmer for 10 minutes or until thickened and the berries break down. Transfer to a blender and puree. Strain through a fine mesh sieve to remove seeds.

For the Chantilly Cream

  1. 1 cup cold heavy whipping cream

  2. 2 teaspoons pure vanilla extract

  3. 3 tablespoons sugar

In the bowl of an electric mixer, whip cream, vanilla and sugar, until stiff peaks form, about five minutes.

Directions

Start by macerating the fruit. Then prepare the strawberry coulis. Set a grill pan coated with olive oil to medium heat. Brush cake slices with olive oil on each side. Grill the pound cake slices, rotating 90 degrees every 30 seconds to achieve crosshatch grill marks. Flip the cake slices and grill on the opposite side for one minute, then remove from the heat. Prepare the chantilly cream. To plate, place the strawberry coulis sauce on the plate, then top it with two grilled pound cake slices. Drizzle the macerated berries and juices onto the cake, and dollop with Chantilly cream. Garnish with fresh mint.   

Strawberry Coulis is an easy sauce made with fresh strawberries, sugar and a little lemon juice.
