STRAWBERRY DREAM
The idea for this dessert didn't come to me in a dream but I was trying to think of a better name for a Strawberry Posset (which is what this actually is) but since very few people know what that is, I am calling it a Strawberry Dream. I think after trying it you'll agree that the name is totally appropriate. The boiled strawberry-infused cream and sugar filling firms up into a luxurious, pudding-like texture that when sandwiched between strawberry puree and macerated strawberries, tastes like a dream! Even though the portions are a bit small, the taste is rich and a little goes a long way.

Steps:
- Prepare strawberry puree: Mix quartered strawberries and sugar in a 2-cup liquid measure or bowl. Let sit and macerate for 1 hour, stirring every 10 to 15 minutes. Use an immersion blender to blend into a smooth puree. Pass through a mesh strainer to remove seeds, if desired. Cover and refrigerate until needed.
- Prepare cream mixture: Combine sugar and cream in a saucepan. Set heat to medium-high and bring to a boil while whisking occasionally; be careful, since cream can easily boil over. Once cream just starts to boil, reduce heat to between medium and medium-low and maintain a steady simmer. Simmer for 5 minutes.
- Remove from the heat and whisk in vanilla, lemon juice, and 1/3 cup of the reserved strawberry puree until completely incorporated. Let cool for 10 to 15 minutes.
- While the cream is cooling, pour the remaining strawberry puree evenly into 4 dessert glasses.
- Pour the cooled cream mixture into the glasses. Wrap with plastic wrap and pop in the refrigerator until thoroughly chilled, 3 to 4 hours.
- Meanwhile, prepare topping: Toss diced strawberries and sugar together in a small bowl. Wrap with plastic wrap and chill alongside the strawberry dreams.
- When ready to serve, remove strawberry dreams and topping from the refrigerator. Stir the topping and spoon strawberries and any accumulated juices on top of each dream.

Tips:
- Use fresh berries: Fresh berries have the best flavor and texture. If you can't find fresh berries, you can use frozen berries, but thaw them completely before using.
- Don't overcook the berries: Berries should be cooked just until they are soft and juicy. Overcooking will make them mushy.
- Use a heavy-bottomed saucepan: A heavy-bottomed saucepan will help to distribute the heat evenly and prevent the berries from scorching.
- Don't boil the cream: Boiling the cream will cause it to curdle. Bring it to a simmer over medium heat, then remove it from the heat.
- Use a whisk to stir the cream: A whisk will help to prevent the cream from curdling.
- Chill the cream before serving: Chilling the cream will help it to set and make it more delicious.
Conclusion:
This Berry Cream Dream is a delicious and refreshing dessert that is perfect for any occasion. It is easy to make and can be made ahead of time. The combination of sweet berries and creamy custard is sure to please everyone.
