Ingredients
2 pints strawberries, hulled and halved
2 ounces orange-flavored liqueur (recommended: Grand Marnier)
3 tablespoons sugar
1 cup whipping cream
1 teaspoon almond extract
12 amaretti cookies, unwrapped and lightly crushed
Directions
- In a medium bowl add the berries and douse with the liqueur. Sprinkle with 1 tablespoon of sugar and let the berries macerate to get their juices flowing.

- Serve the berries in dessert dishes topped with whipped cream and crushed amaretti cookies.
