Baked Strawberry and Vanilla Cream Delight

Ingredients

- 1 pint fresh strawberries, hulled and halved
- 1/4 cup pure maple syrup
- 1/2 cup granulated sugar
- 1 cup whole milk
- 1 cup heavy cream
- 1/4 teaspoon salt
- 2 teaspoons vanilla extract

Instructions

1. Prepare the Strawberries
Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C). Line a baking sheet with parchment paper. Spread the hulled and halved strawberries in a single layer on the sheet.

2. Sweeten the Strawberries
Drizzle 1/4 cup of maple syrup evenly over the strawberries. Sprinkle 1/4 cup of sugar on top. Gently toss the strawberries to ensure they are coated with the syrup and sugar mixture.

3. Bake the Strawberries
Place the baking sheet in the preheated oven and bake for approximately 25 minutes, shaking the tray occasionally to ensure even cooking. The strawberries should be soft and caramelized once done.

4. Prepare the Vanilla Cream
In a medium saucepan, combine the whole milk, heavy cream, remaining 1/4 cup of sugar, and salt. Cook over medium heat, occasionally stirring until the sugar completely dissolves, about 5 minutes.

5. Add Vanilla Flavor
Remove the saucepan from heat and stir in the vanilla extract. Allow the mixture to cool slightly, then transfer it to a mixing bowl. Chill in the refrigerator for at least 30 minutes until it thickens slightly.

6. Assemble the Dessert
In serving glasses or bowls, layer the baked strawberries with the vanilla cream. Start with a layer of strawberries, followed by a layer of cream. Repeat until the glasses are filled to your preference.

7. Chill Before Serving
Allow the dessert to chill for an additional 30 minutes in the refrigerator to set. Serve cold and enjoy this delightful treat!
