Ingredients
  

  • 2 pints fresh ripe strawberries.
  • 3 tablespoons granulated white sugar.
  • 2 tablespoons Grand Marnier liqueur.
  • 1 1/2 cups cold heavy cream.
  • 1/2 cup sweet powdered sugar.
  • 1 teaspoon pure vanilla extract.
  • 1/2 cup cold sour cream.
  • 1 tablespoon fresh orange zest.

Instructions
 

Clean the Berries

  • Wash the fresh strawberries under cold water. Remove the green stems from the tops. Dry them very well with a paper towel.

Slice the Fruit

  • Cut the berries into thick slices. Place them in a large glass bowl. Make sure they are all about the same size.

Macerate the Berries

  • Add granulated sugar and Grand Marnier to berries. Stir them very gently with a spoon. Let them sit for thirty minutes total.

Whip the Cream

  • Pour cold heavy cream into a cold bowl. Beat it with an electric mixer. Mix until the cream starts to get thick.

Add Sweetener

  • Add the powdered sugar and vanilla extract. Keep beating until firm peaks form. Be careful not to make butter.

Fold in Sour Cream

  • Add the cold sour cream to the mix. Fold it in gently with a spatula. This adds a very nice tangy flavor.

Add the Zest

  • Stir in the fresh orange zest now. This makes the cream smell very bright. It pairs perfectly with the sweet strawberries.

Combine the Layers

  • Add the berries and their juice to cream. Fold them together with very few strokes. You want to see white and red swirls.

Chill and Serve

  • Spoon the mixture into small glass bowls. Chill them in the fridge for one hour. Serve them cold to your very happy guests.

Notes

  • Use the ripest berries you can find.
  • Chill your mixing bowl before whipping cream.
  • Do not skip the sour cream for tang.
  • Use real vanilla extract for better flavor.
  • Let the berries sit to make juice.
  • Fold the mixture very gently by hand.
  • Serve in clear glass for a pretty look.
  • Add extra orange zest on top for color.
  • Make this right before your guests arrive.
