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.
Serves 6
Ingredients
- 1 1/2 cups fat-free sour cream
- 1/2 cup brown sugar
- 2 tablespoons amaretto liqueur
- 1 quart fresh strawberries, hulled and halved (reserve 6 whole for garnish)
Directions
In a small bowl, whisk together the sour cream, brown sugar and liqueur.
In a large bowl, add the halved strawberries and sour cream mixture. Stir gently to mix. Cover and refrigerate until well chilled, about 1 hour.
Scoop the strawberries into 6 colorful bowls or chilled sherbet glasses. Garnish with whole strawberries and serve immediately.
