Strawberries and cream are THE dessert when it comes to Wimbledon. For that reason I decided to introduce the “recipe” here, it is pretty straight forward, you whip the cream with sugar and vanilla, you also mix the strawberries with sugar and vanilla (so four ingredients in total) and this is then layered into a dessert. According to Wimbledon more than 200,000 portions are served during the two-week tournament. Serving strawberries with cream dates back to Victorian times, it was often served for banquets, picnics, and other summer festivities. As Wimbledon traditionally takes place during the high season of British strawberries, it comes as no surprise why it has been popular for a long time. Wimbledon was established in 1877 and has since then kept this tradition.
