Prepare the Strawberries
Begin by carefully washing and drying the fresh strawberries. Once they’re clean, slice them into thirds, making sure to remove the green tops. Place them in a medium-sized bowl, ready for the sauce. -
Make the Amaretto Sauce
In a separate mixing bowl, combine the sour cream, sugar, and Amaretto. Stir the mixture together thoroughly until the sugar dissolves and the sauce becomes smooth. The consistency of the sauce should be thick and creamy, not runny. If needed, adjust the sweetness to taste by adding more sugar. -
Chill the Sauce
Transfer the prepared sauce into an airtight container or cover the bowl with plastic wrap. Let it chill in the refrigerator for 2 to 3 hours. This chilling time allows the flavors to meld and the sauce to set into the perfect consistency. -
Assemble the Dish
Once the sauce is well-chilled, pour it generously over the sliced strawberries, making sure to coat them evenly. The creamy, nutty notes of the Amaretto sauce will perfectly complement the sweetness of the berries. -
Serve and Enjoy
Serve immediately after assembling, or keep the dessert chilled in the fridge for an additional 30 minutes for extra refreshment. This dessert can also be paired with whipped cream or a sprinkle of slivered almonds for added texture.
