Morangos Mofados are a popular Portuguese dessert made from fresh strawberries that are macerated in sugar and sometimes flavored with lemon juice or port wine. The process of maceration softens the strawberries, allowing them to release their natural juices, creating a sweet syrup that enhances their flavor. This dish is often served chilled and can be enjoyed on its own or as a topping for ice cream, pancakes, or yogurt. Morangos Mofados are especially popular during the summer months when strawberries are in season, making them a refreshing treat for warm days.
