Dietitian's tip: Strawberries are a good source of vitamin C and potassium. Here they're paired with amaretto liqueur and sour cream for a low-fat dessert.

By Mayo Clinic staff
Serves 6

Ingredients

    • 1 1/2 cups fat-free sour cream
    • 1/2 cup brown sugar
    • 2 tablespoons amaretto liqueur

Directions

In a small bowl, whisk together the sour cream, brown sugar and liqueur.
