Recipe Tips
Expert Tips for Perfect Strawberries Romanoff
- Make ahead tip: Prepare the cream up to 24 hours in advance and store in the refrigerator. Assemble just before serving.
- Alcohol-free version: Replace brandy with 1 teaspoon of vanilla extract and 1 tablespoon of orange juice for a family-friendly version.
- Presentation upgrade: Layer ingredients in clear glasses for a striking visual effect - strawberries, cream, more strawberries, more cream, a perfect berry, and fresh mint leaves on top.
- Texture variation: For added dimension, mix in 2 tablespoons of mascarpone cheese with the heavy cream.
- Flavor enhancement: Add 1/2 teaspoon of orange zest to the cream for a subtle citrus note.
