Strawberries Romanoff

This is a retro dessert  featured on the menus of continental fine-dining restaurants around the globe; kind of like tiramisu is now.  It was supposedly named after the Romanoff line of czars in Russia, but frankly I did not dig into history books  to give you the exact scoop. I just loved it as a kid because it had my two favorite things: Berries and cream. The classic version included liqueur like Grand Marnier or Curaçao when macerating the strawberries. I prefer it without because I think adding liqueur is too overpowering. Some recipes even add vodka. In any case, it is a good choice for a holiday menu and little time to prepare something elaborate. I wish you all a Happy Mother’s Day 2015!

    I have to admit adding a tiny splash of Grand Marnier and loving it 🙂 I love this dessert and the name! It makes it sound so much more exotic ;
