Ingredients

  • 1 pound strawberries or 2 pints
  • 1 cup sour cream
  • 6 tablespoons brown sugar
  • 2 tablespoons brandy

Instructions

    Cup of Yum

  2. Mix remaining ingredients and let stand for 2 to 3 minutes.
  3. Put berries in stemmed wine glass and top with sauce.

Notes

  • Make ahead tip: Prepare the cream up to 24 hours in advance and store in the refrigerator. Assemble just before serving.
  • Alcohol-free version: Replace brandy with 1 teaspoon of vanilla extract and 1 tablespoon of orange juice for a family-friendly version.
  • Presentation upgrade: Layer ingredients in clear glasses for a striking visual effect - strawberries, cream, more strawberries, more cream, a perfect berry, and fresh mint leaves on top.
  • Texture variation: For added dimension, mix in 2 tablespoons of mascarpone cheese with the heavy cream.
  • Flavor enhancement: Add 1/2 teaspoon of orange zest to the cream for a subtle citrus note.
