Pro Tips for Success

  • Fresh is best — Use ripe, fragrant strawberries at the peak of season for the sweetest results.
  • Non-alcoholic version — Replace the amaretto with 1 teaspoon of almond extract and a splash of milk or orange juice.
  • Make it lighter — Swap in Greek yogurt for part or all of the sour cream for extra protein and tang.
  • Flavor boosts — Add a pinch of freshly ground black pepper or a few fresh mint leaves for an elegant twist.
  • Storage — Best enjoyed the same day, but leftovers will keep in the refrigerator for up to 24 hours (the berries will soften more).
