  5. Pour mixture into a bowl or 3 cup metal mold.
  6. Cover and chill until it sets. This should take around 4 hours.
  7. Dip the bottom of the bowl or mold into hot water until the edges start to melt. Then flip the bowl or mold over and place the mixture onto serving plate.

For variations, you can top with cinnamon or try with different fruits. You can also top with fresh whipped cream made with a splash of brandy or Grand Marnier.

Editor’s Note:

Recipes always change with time as different people make them. This version of Fraises Romanoff is very similar to an Italian vanilla Panna Cotta with fresh strawberries. However, the addition of the sour cream gives it a bit of tangy flavor and Russian flair. It is simply delicious.

Conclusion

Fraises Romanoff is considered a sophisticated and elegant dessert, often served at special occasions or fine dining settings. Its presentation can be quite beautiful, making it visually appealing as well. Despite its elegant appearance, Fraises Romanoff is relatively simple to prepare. It doesn’t require extensive cooking skills or complicated ingredients, making it accessible for home cooks. The dessert combines the natural sweetness and tartness of fresh strawberries with the rich, creamy flavor of the sauce. This contrast creates a delightful and balanced taste experience.
