These balsamic strawberries are the perfect summertime dessert. Made with aged balsamic and topped with fresh whipped cream.
Today while I was at work I realized I would have no time to put something on my blog.
Since I do genuinely love my blog I didn’t want to neglect it.
I looked around my boss’s house for inspiration and I found it tucked away in the back corner of the pantry. There sat a small bottle of aged balsamic.
The second I saw the little bottle I knew what I wanted to do so I hightailed it to the market and picked up some strawberries and heavy cream.
The second I got back to my boss’s house I cut up my berries and started the maceration process.
After a few hours, I decided it was time to start whipping the cream (aka: arm exercise) and dig into my summer dessert.
I had never tried balsamic with strawberries before and I will honestly have to say that after today I’m a HUGE fan.
The syrupy-aged balsamic added so much extra flavor to the berries and I was truly shocked at how well it tasted.
I whipped my cream by hand and didn’t add any sugar but if sweetened cream is your forte then by all means add some sugar. Enjoy!!!

I never tried aged balsamic vinegar to date, so can’t imagine how the taste would be like… (maybe I should just grab that bottle I spotted in market now that strawberries are in season) – but I like your first photo of it. How the angle makes me think that the goodie is out of my reach boohoo. 🙂
