Strawberries Romanoff

By Dglmedia

Marinating fruit in liquid is also called macerating. Orange-flavored liqueur complements fresh berries in this classic dessert. Macerate for only the length of time specified so the strawberries retain their texture.

Ingredients

• 4 cups sliced strawberries (about 1 1/2 pounds)
• 3 tablespoons powdered sugar
• 1/4 cup Cointreau or Grand Marnier (orange-flavored liqueur)
• 1/3 cup whipping cream, chilled
• 3 tablespoons powdered sugar
• 1/4 teaspoon vanilla extract
• Mint sprigs (optional)

Preparation

Step 1

1. Combine first 3 ingredients in a bowl. Cover and chill 3 1/2 hours.

2. Place cream, 3 tablespoons sugar, and vanilla in a small bowl; beat with a mixer at high speed until stiff peaks form. Spoon over strawberry mixture. Garnish with mint, if desired. Serve immediately.
