Strawberries in Cointreau image

This is delicious and it makes quite a lot so if you stop at step 1 it makes a great dessert served in stemmed glassware with cream or ice-cream - although I did make this to top Classic Pavlova #174892.

Time 20m

Yield 1 pavlova

Number Of Ingredients 5

500 g strawberries (2 punnets)
2 -3 passion fruit
Cointreau liqueur, to taste
1/2-1 tablespoon icing sugar
1 -2 teaspoon arrowroot

Steps:

  • Hull and halve strawberries, leaving about 8 whole for pavlova decoration, and put into a medium bowl; scoop passionfuit into bowl; add Cointreau to taste & sugar and chill for an hour or two.
  • Before topping pavlova with strawberries and passionfruit, drain juice from the fruit, being careful not to lose any of the passionfruit pulp; taste and add more Cointreau and sugar if necessary.
  • Thicken the juice with arrowroot over a low heat to make a pouring sauce, not too thick as it will thicken as it chills - amount of arrowroot needed depends on how much juice you have from the strawberries.
  • After adding cream to pavlova, top with the strawberries, both sliced and whole (leave leaves on whole strawberries) and pour over the sauce.
