In the meantime take the chilled bowl and whisk from the freezer. Pour in the whipping cream, 1 Tbs sugar, and the vanilla extract. Beat until medium peaks form.
Place 1 slice of soda bread on a plate. Ladle the strawberry mixture on top, followed by a layer of whipped cream. Top it off with the second slice of soda bread. Layer it again with the strawberries and a dollop of whipped cream. Garnish with a strawberry and serve immediately.
