Strawberries & Cream Daiquiris
INGREDIENTS
Whipped cream
- 1 cup heavy cream 240 ml
- 1/4 cup powdered sugar 32 g

- 2 oz peach schnapps 60 ml
INSTRUCTIONS
Whipped cream
- In medium sized bowl, with hand-mixer, whip together heavy cream, sugar, and vanilla extract until desired whipped consistency is reached. Set in fridge until daiquiri mix is ready.
Daiquiri
- In blender, pulse together strawberries, ice, rum, simple syrup and peach schnapps on high speed until smooth and completely blended.
- Remove whipped cream from fridge. Pour daiquiri mix into glass, filling approx. 1/3 of the way full, then spoon whipped cream on top of daiquiri and repeat until serving glass is full.
RECIPE NOTES
**I always make my own simple syrup. To do this, simply dissolve one part granulated sugar into one part water by heating the two ingredients in a saucepan on low-medium heat, stirring constantly until the sugar is dissolved, then removing from heat and allowing to cool completely before using in your mixed drinks
