Strawberry and Sour Cream Dessert

You can soak the cookies in strawberry liqueur! Do you love strawberries with sugar and sour cream? Hardly anyone would turn down such a simple, delicious treat. The sour cream soaks up the strawberry juice and it becomes hard to say which is tastier — the strawberries or the cream. And add cookies, and it's out of this world.

Cooking method

Cooking time: 30 min

Step 1:

Get the ingredients ready. To make this strawberry and sour cream dessert, you'll need: strawberries; sour cream (not runny, 15% fat or higher); chocolate cookies (plain sponge cookies without add-ins work too); powdered sugar; vanilla sugar. For garnish: mint; strawberries; dark chocolate.
Step 2:

Add the powdered sugar and vanilla sugar to the sour cream and stir. Let it sit for 5-7 minutes until the sugar dissolves.
Step 3:

Break the cookies into small pieces.
Step 4:

Wash the strawberries and pat them dry. Remove the hulls. Cut the berries into rounds. It really doesn't matter how you slice the strawberries — you can do quarters or cubes. But mine were oblong, so they look pretty cut into rounds.
Step 5:

Put 1-2 tablespoons of chocolate cookies in the bottom of each dessert glass. Spread 1-2 tablespoons of the sweetened sour cream on top. Lay the strawberry rounds on the sour cream.
Step 6:

Repeat the layers once more. Put the dessert in the refrigerator for 10 minutes.
Step 7:

Before serving, garnish the dessert with strawberry halves, mint, and chocolate. I also lightly dusted it with chocolate cookie crumbs. I ended up with 3 glasses filled to the brim. You can make the layers thinner for 4-5 servings. Enjoy!

Individual desserts in glasses or dessert cups are an offbeat, fun alternative to whole cakes for any celebration. If the cake would be homemade rather than store-bought, swapping it for a dessert like this frees up a ton of time and effort. With this dessert, all you have to do is break up the cookies, slice the strawberries, and mix the sour cream with sugar. Nothing needs to be whipped or chilled for long. The cookies soak up the sour cream fairly quickly and turn very soft. For a kid-friendly version, you can also soak the cookies in sweet strawberry syrup to play up the strawberry flavor. Or swap that for chocolate topping to play up the cookie flavor. For adults, you can soak the cookies in alcohol: strawberry or chocolate liqueur, or brandy. And you can give each guest the alcohol they love most. And that's perhaps the most wonderful thing about recipes like this — how easily they can be made your own.
