How to Make Strawberries In Cointreau

  1. Wash and hull 1 pound of fresh strawberries. Slice them in half or quarters, depending on their size.
  2. In a medium bowl, gently combine the sliced strawberries with 1/2 cup of Cointreau. Stir to ensure all the strawberries are coated.
  3. Cover the bowl with plastic wrap and refrigerate for at least 1-2 hours, or preferably overnight, to allow the strawberries to macerate and absorb the Cointreau's flavor.
  4. While the strawberries macerate, prepare the chocolate curls. Using a vegetable peeler, carefully shave curls from a 1-ounce block of high-quality dark chocolate.
  5. Set the chocolate curls aside until ready to serve. They can be placed on a plate lined with parchment paper to prevent sticking.
  6. To serve, spoon the macerated strawberries into individual serving bowls or glasses.
  7. Top each serving with a dollop of whipped cream (approximately 2 tablespoons per serving) and garnish with the chocolate curls.
