Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 500 grams fresh strawberries
- 60 milliliters Amaretto liqueur
- 120 milliliters heavy cream
- 2 tablespoons powdered sugar
- 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
- 30 grams toasted almond slices
- 5 leaves fresh mint leaves (optional, for garnish)
Instructions
Wash and hull the strawberries. Slice them in half if they are large, or leave them whole if small. Set aside in a serving bowl.
In a small saucepan over medium heat, combine the Amaretto liqueur, heavy cream, powdered sugar, and vanilla extract. Stir constantly until the mixture is smooth and just begins to warm through. Do not let it boil.
Allow the sauce to simmer gently for 1-2 minutes, stirring frequently, until it slightly thickens. Remove the saucepan from heat and let it cool for a minute or two.
Pour the warm Amaretto sauce over the prepared strawberries in the bowl.
Sprinkle the toasted almond slices over the top for a crunchy texture.
Garnish with fresh mint leaves, if desired, for a pop of color and freshness.
Serve immediately and enjoy this simple yet sophisticated dessert.
