How to Make Easy Elegant Strawberry Shortcake
- In a medium bowl, gently toss 1 pint (2 cups) sliced strawberries with 1/4 cup granulated sugar and 1 tablespoon Grand Marnier. Cover and refrigerate for at least 2 hours, or preferably longer, to allow the strawberries to release their juices and the flavors to meld.
- In a separate bowl, combine 1 cup plain Greek yogurt, 1/4 teaspoon ground nutmeg, 1/8 teaspoon ground cinnamon, 2 tablespoons granulated sugar, 1 tablespoon Grand Marnier, and 1/2 tablespoon Limoncello. Mix well until smooth and creamy.
- Refrigerate the yogurt cream until ready to serve. This allows the flavors to combine and the cream to chill.
- To serve, slice the pound cake into individual portions. Top each slice with the macerated strawberries and their juices. Dollop a generous spoonful of the yogurt cream on top and sprinkle with a pinch of candied ginger for a delightful finishing touch.
