It isn't quite as hot as it has been over the past few days, but it's still warm out there.
Today's BFY (bad for you) summer treat is:
Strawberries Romanoff
(This version for when kids are around)
1 quart fresh whipping cream
2 quarts fresh cleaned and sliced strawberries
1/2 cup sugar
1 cup strawberry Schnapps
1/4 cup white chocolate shavings
French vanilla ice cream
First, heat up the Schnapps and reduce to one half cup. This cooks out the
alcohol and concentrates the flavor. After it has cooled, add the
strawberry slices and let set a couple of minutes. Meanwhile, whip up the
cream in a medium bowl with the sugar until you have stiff peaks. Slowly
fold in the berries and juice then ladle into individual glass serving cups
and top with some white chocolate shavings.
For Adults.
Repeat the above with the following exceptions;
Do not cook down the Schnapps, simply warm it up a little. This will retain the natural alcohol content.
Next, soften up a half gallon of French Vanilla ice cream and whip it together with the whipped cream mentioned above in the children's version. After well- mixed to "stiff peaks", begin to layer into a large bowl the Strawberry mix on successive layers of ice cream/whipped cream, then sprinkle shaved white and dark chocolate on top.
(this is NOT what one would call a "healthy" dessert. But who cares!)
