Thank you so much for posting this. I will make it the first chance I get. I used to go to Kopenhagen for the weekend just to eat this stuff!

I thought this was very good. Instead of cooling in individual cups I chilled it in a large bowl and allowed everyone to serve themselves. We had it with whipped cream. Next time I may cut back the cooking time as we felt it might be better if the strawberries were firmer and not quite so soft. I think this would also be delicious on vanilla ice cream, shortcake or angel food. It has a lot of possibilities.

I used just picked strawberries for this. Yummy! I think the sweetness was perfect, not too overly sweet which I like. I topped these with whipped cream and shaved chocolate. What a great combination! made for ZWT 6.

Very nice dessert! My strawberries weren't as red as they could have been, so mine didn't come out as pretty as the photo, but it still tasted lovely! I used whipped cream to top instead of the liquid cream. Thanks for posting!

I made this for ZWT3. I'm sorry to say that mine didn't get 5 start result. I started with ripe rich red berries but all the color "washed out" in the cooking, sadly the flavor also seemed to fade. I did use Splenda in place of the sugar which I stirred in as I removed it from the heat. It was already color faded so I know that it didn't cause the effect but perhaps the lack of added sugar did? The flavor was nice but not what I was expecting.
