Strawberries Romanoff

This is a delicious, fast, and easy strawberry dessert. I saw several varieties. Most of the one I used was from food.com (http://www.food.com/recipe/strawberries-romanoff-taste-just-like-la-madeleine-copycat-92461). However, I modified it slightly with an ingredient from an Emeril Lagasse version on foodnetwork.com (http://www.foodnetwork.com/recipes/emeril-lagasse/strawberries-romanoff-recipe/index.html). There are other Emeril ingredients worth considering, like vanilla ice cream and chocolate shavings.

Aside from cutting up the strawberries, preparing this recipe is very fast.

Ingredients

- 1/2 cup sour cream
- 3 tablespoons brown sugar
- 1/4 cup Grand Marnier (This is from the Emeril recipe. The food.com recipe calls for 1 tablespoon of brandy or 1 tablespoon of vanilla extract.)
- 1/2 cup heavy cream
- 3 tablespoons sugar
- 4 cups fresh strawberries

Directions

1. Mix sour cream, brown sugar, and brandy in a bowl.
2. In a separate bowl, whip cream until it starts to thicken. Add sugar, and whip until thick.
3. Fold cream into sour cream mixture, and blend well.
4. Serve mixture atop fresh strawberries.
