Ingredients

• 500 grams fresh strawberries
• 2 tablespoons unsalted butter
• 2 tablespoons granulated sugar
• 3 tablespoons Grand Marnier (orange liqueur)
• 4 scoops vanilla ice cream
• 4 leaves fresh mint leaves (for garnish, optional)

Directions

Step 1

Wash and hull the fresh strawberries, cutting larger ones in half if necessary to create uniform size pieces.

Step 2

In a large skillet or sauté pan, melt the unsalted butter over medium heat.

Step 3

Add the granulated sugar to the pan and stir until dissolved, creating a smooth, caramel-like mixture.

Step 4

Gently add the prepared strawberries to the skillet, stirring to coat them evenly in the butter and sugar mixture. Cook for 2-3 minutes until the strawberries release some of their juices and are slightly softened.

Step 5

Remove the skillet from heat and carefully pour in the Grand Marnier.

Step 6

Using a long match or lighter, ignite the Grand Marnier to flambé the mixture. Allow the flames to burn off completely (this should take a few seconds) before returning the skillet to the heat.

Step 7

Cook the strawberries for another 1-2 minutes to thicken the sauce slightly.

Step 8

Scoop vanilla ice cream into four bowls or dessert glasses.

Step 9

Spoon the warm strawberries and sauce over the ice cream.

Step 10

Garnish each serving with a fresh mint leaf, if desired, and serve immediately.
