Juicy ripe strawberries are layered in pretty dessert glasses amongst delicate airy clouds of Chantilly cream! Very quick and easy to prepare, yet elegant and romantic. This makes a lovely dessert for Valentine's Day or other romantic occasions, especially when served from a heart shaped serving dish and strewn with pink rose petals. Enjoy!
