Method
-
Whisk the vanilla cream
Whisk the yogurt, milk, whey and vanilla together in the bowl until smooth and no dry powder is left.
Whisk the whey in a little at a time. Dumped in all at once, it clumps.
-
Add oats and berries, then chill
Slice the strawberries. Stir in the oats and half the strawberries, mashing a few against the side of the bowl to color the cream. Cover and refrigerate for at least 6 hours, or overnight.
Mash a few berries as you stir. They sweeten the oats and turn the cream pink.
-
Top with fresh strawberries
Stir the oats, then top with the rest of the strawberries and eat cold.
Keep the last strawberries fresh. Their bite against the soft oats is the shortcake effect.
Common mistake
Stirring all the berries in before chilling. They go mushy and make the oats watery.
Storage
Fridge for up to 3 days covered. Add the fresh strawberries on top when you eat.
