Veiled Strawberry Girls

I'm posting a few recipes made with strawberries in preparation for the upcoming strawberry season.
This dessert is a variation of Veiled Farm Girls, which is made with apples.

Ingredients:
2 1/4 cups fresh strawberries
the juice from half a lemon
approximately 1/4 cup of sugar

FOR THE WHITE CHOCOLATE CREAM
3 oz. white chocolate
1 1/2 cups whipping cream
seeds from 1/2 a vanilla bean

~ Put half of the strawberries and all of the lemon juice in a food processor and process.
Evenly distribute the sauce between 6 glasses that can hold at least 1 cup of liquid. Cut the rest of the strawberries into rough pieces and evenly distribute among the glasses.

FOR THE WHITE CHOCOLATE CREAM:
Finely chop the chocolate and melt it in a water bath or in the microwave.
Cut the vanilla bean lengthwise and scrape out the seeds.
Heat 1/4 cup of the whipping cream together with the vanilla seeds. Pour the cream over the chocolate and stir it with a spatula until smooth. Set the mixture aside to cool at room temperature.
Whip the rest of the whipping cream into a lightly whipped cream. Fold the cream into the cooled chocolate mixture. Carefully place and evenly distribute the cream on the strawberries in the glasses.
