Strawberries are a good source of vitamin C and potassium. Here they're paired with amaretto liqueur and fat-free sour cream for a low-fat dessert.

In a small bowl, whisk together the fat-free sour cream, brown sugar and liqueur.

In a large bowl, add the halved strawberries and sour cream mixture. Stir gently to mix. Cover and refrigerate until well-chilled, about 1 hour.

Scoop the strawberries into 6 colorful bowls or chilled sherbet glasses. Garnish with whole strawberries and serve immediately.

1 1/2 cups fat-free sour cream
1/2 cup brown sugar
2 tablespoons amaretto liqueur
1 quart fresh strawberries, hulled and halved (reserve 6 whole for garnish)
