To make this boozy, sensual dessert, you need just 3 ingredients and a little imagination for how you serve the end result. Soaking strawberries in Cointreau along with some icing sugar will draw out some lovely juices from the strawberries and the berries themselves will take on the orange flavoured liquor for a zesty, delicious taste. Spoon the Cointreau soaked strawberries and the lovely pink syrup that will have formed around them into a pretty serving bowl or serve them over a scoop of ice cream, pancakes or a slice of chocolate cake.
