Amaretto Strawberries

This dessert is almost embarrassingly simple, yet luscious and low in fat. It’s a good way to serve this fruit during strawberry season.

Serves: 4

• 1 pint sweet, ripe strawberries, hulled
• 1/4 cup amaretto liqueur
• Vanilla nondairy ice cream
• Fresh mint leaves for garnish, optional

Cut the strawberries into quarters and place them in a wide, shallow container. Crush them lightly, then stir in the amaretto. Cover and allow to soak for several hours, refrigerated.

Serve in small bowls or pudding glasses over nondairy ice cream, garnished with mint leaves.
