Method
 

  1. Slice strawberries and mix with sugar, basil, and lemon juice.
  2. Let mixture sit until juices form and flavors blend.
  3. Whisk cream with yogurt or mascarpone until smooth.
  4. Layer strawberries with cream in serving dish or cups.
  5. Chill briefly before serving for best flavor and texture.

Notes

For softer texture, let strawberries macerate longer. For firmer bites, reduce resting time. Chill before serving for better structure. Swap cream base flavors or add citrus zest. Store covered in the fridge and consume within two days for freshness.
