I rather like leaving out the sugar often put into cream to make it
sweet when whipped. Vanilla yes, and other flavorings, banana,
hazelnut, brandy "flavoring" or just about any other 'flavoring' one wants.

However i missed the original recipe referred to

Im tempted to trot out my copy of Fraises Bernhardt, which are champagne
macerated strawberries served with pineapple and vanilla ice cream.

Part of the strawberries are macerated in a good sweet champagne and
then freshly sliced strawberries are added to the crushed & macerated
strawberries to make a strawberry sauce with to serve over vanilla
ice-cream and shredded pineapple.
