It’s terrific topped with strawberries macerated in sugar, or Pei’s favorite topping, balsamic strawberries.

To make balsamic strawberries, marinate diced strawberries in a teaspoon of balsamic vinegar and a squirt of simple syrup per cup of strawberries. “No one ever knows why the berries taste so good. I actually had one friend start arguing with me that there was no way something sour (vinegar) could make strawberries taste sweeter than they already were,” she says.
