In a medium bowl, combine 1 cup heavy whipping cream, 1/4 cup confectioners’ sugar and 1/2 tsp vanilla extract. Beat with an electric mixer until stiff peaks form (about 2-2½ mins).
Transfer cream to a piping bag, fitted with a 2D piping tip.
Stir strawberries then divide slightly more than half between 6 serving glasses or bowls (spoon a little syrup over the berries if you like).
Pipe half of the cream over strawberries. Divide remaining strawberries between the glasses and top with another generous layer of cream. Garnish with fresh mint or peppermint leaves to make it more festive.
