Ingredients
- 500 grams fresh strawberries
- 2 tablespoons unsalted butter
- 2 tablespoons granulated sugar
- 3 tablespoons Cointreau (orange liqueur)
- 2 tablespoons fresh orange juice
- 4 tablespoons fresh cream
- 4 leaves fresh mint leaves (optional, for garnish)
Directions
Step 1
Wash and pat dry the fresh strawberries. Hull them (remove the green tops) and, if desired, slice them in half for presentation. Set aside.
Step 2
In a medium saucepan, melt the unsalted butter over medium-low heat.
Step 3
Add the granulated sugar to the butter and stir until the sugar dissolves, forming a smooth base.
Step 4
Pour in the Cointreau and fresh orange juice. Stir the mixture gently, allowing it to simmer for about 2 minutes. Be cautious as the alcohol may evaporate quickly.
Step 5
Reduce the heat to low and slowly stir in the fresh cream. Whisk gently to incorporate the cream fully, creating a rich and smooth sauce. Remove the saucepan from heat once the sauce has thickened slightly.
Step 6
To serve, divide the prepared strawberries into 4 dessert bowls or plates.
Step 7
Drizzle the warm Cointreau sauce generously over the strawberries.
Step 8
Garnish with fresh mint leaves for an extra touch of elegance, if desired.
Step 9
Serve immediately and enjoy this delightful dessert!
