Macerate the Berries
Wash and quarter the strawberries. Gently rinse the remaining berries. Finely zest and juice the orange.
Combine the orange juice, orange zest, orange liqueur, and powdered sugar. Fold the berries into the mixture and let stand for 30 minutes to macerate.
Make the Cream
Whip the heavy cream and vanilla bean until soft peaks form. Add the powdered sugar and sour cream, then continue whipping until firm peaks form. Do not overwhip.
Assemble and Serve
Spoon the berry mixture into wine glasses or serving dishes. Top with the whipped cream mixture or a scoop of vanilla bean ice cream.
Garnish with fresh mint, if desired.
