Swedish Cream with Summer Berries

The flavor was good but it never really"set" for me. I think next time I may just use cool whip instead of the whipping cream as it came out more like thickened milk. Or maybe I will whip the cream first and not heat it. Definitly worth a second try.

I made this as the Recipe Exchange Group recipe for the week of April 19th. The cream mixture, when warm, tastes good, but I couldn't wrap my mind around it with cold strawberries (though I probably could have eaten it that way). So I made our dessert glasses and chilled them. When I served it my husband asked me if this was melted ice cream. Of course I told him no, it isn't, but in reality, that's pretty much what it is. So tomorrow the remaining 6 servings are going in my ice cream maker. As a note to anyone looking to sub orange extract for the Grand Marnier, I subbed 1/2 tsp. and personally I thought that wasn't enough. My husband could not taste the orange flavor at all, either. I'd use a full teaspoon next time. Thank you for the recipe, I think I'd actually have given this 5 stars if I'd made it the way some of the others did with whipping the cream beforehand! EDIT 4/22/10: I did put the remainder in my ice cream machine with another 1/2 tsp. orange extract & the sliced berries. The leftovers made a satisfying ice cream.

This was a very refreshing and simple dessert. As suggested by another reviewer, I served it cold and didn't cook the cream, I just layered with the strawberries and grated some chocolate on the top, which is a really nice complement to this dessert.

Like others who have reviewed this recipe I replaced cool whip for heavy whipping cream (skipped the stove for this recipe), and orange extract in the place of flavored brandy. This was served chilled with Almond Shortbread I from this site. Yummy!!

This is a fantastic recipe that I'll be making again! I cut the recipe in half as there were only 2 of us...I used Triple Sec instead of Grand Marnier, as that was what I had on hand. My husband gave it 4 out of 5 stars which is a super good rating from him! Thanks for a great recipe!

Words truly can't describe this one. Made non-alcoholic (baby on board!) by substituting 1/2 tsp orange extract for the Grand Marnier. Increased sugar to 3/4c. Did not boil the cream - I whipped the whipped cream until stiff in one bowl, and beat the remaining ingredients in another. Then gently whisked the two together. Used a mix of fresh strawberries, and frozen mixed berries. DELISH!!!
