Strawberries Romanoff - A must-try, luxuriously delicious dessert of fresh strawberries, whipped cream and sour cream that have been flavored with liqueur.

To quote the words of my husband Jack, this Strawberries Romanoff is an “O-M-G” recipe!”  One taste of this delicious dessert and we both predict you’ll be saying “Oh my God – this is SO good!”

I’ve been looking forward to making Strawberries Romanoff ever since I ran across the recipe as we did some research for our earlier Noodles Romanoff post.  (The common ingredient between the two ‘Romanoff’ recipes is sour cream – which lends a creamy and slightly tangy flavor that is a perfect complement to the otherwise sweet flavors in this wonderful dessert.)

And so, with some gorgeous, sweet fresh strawberries on hand, plus a container of sour cream in the refrigerator we wanted to use up – it was finally time to make our own version of Strawberries Romanoff to share with all of you today!

If you search around online, there are many different versions of Strawberries Romanoff as well as several different stories about exactly who created this fantastic recipe.  This article claims that the recipe is the creation of Marie Antoine Careme – chef to the Russian ruler Nicholas I from the Romanoff family.

Another website claims that a version of this recipe (called Strawberries Americaine Style) was the creation of a Chef Escoffier from the Carlton Hotel in London and later renamed Strawberries Romanoff by “Prince” Michael Romanoff who opened a restaurant in Hollywood called Romanoff’s and pretended that he was royalty.

Some versions of this light but luxurious dessert are made with liquor-flavored whipped and sour cream – served over freshly sliced strawberries.  Other versions macerate the strawberries in orange-flavored liquor (or orange juice if you want to keep this recipe kid-friendly), then top the berries with vanilla ice cream that has been combined with heavy cream.

To make our version of Strawberries Romanoff, we macerated the strawberries in a little bit of confectioner’s sugar and Grand Marnier liquor. We also mixed sour cream with brown sugar and brandy before stirring it into freshly whipped cream.

Strawberries Romanoff takes just minutes to prepare but it is a fantastic dessert to serve for a special occasion. Guaranteed – this is a dessert your dinners guests will talk about for months!

    Hello,
    Thank you for this quick, no fuss recipe. I have strawberries in fridge to use up. I used cream with brandy from cupboard and it was really yummy. I googled how to use up strawberries and cream and found your website. Brussel sprouts and bacon looked really nice. So I will visit your website again for sensible , low fuss yummy family recipes.
    I live in Perth Western Australia where strawberry season is finishing and winter is coming.

    If I don’t use liqueur or any alcohol. Can this recipe be used without it? I would really like to try this.

      Hi – definitely! Grand Marnier is an orange flavored liquer so you could swap in some orange juice for that. And for the brandy – I’d suggest apple juice as a substitute. Hope that helps!

    Well, I just had some wonderful news today and feel like celebrating and will be making this. Praise God for my good news, feeling so blessed. And although we don’t have fresh strawberries yet where I live, the ones at the market still look pretty good! Can’t wait to make this tonight to help me unwind.
