4 Tablespoons brown sugar
2 Tablespoons vanilla ( or rum or brandy or orange liquor )

1/2 pound of strawberry or vanilla ice cream.

Top with sauce
The traditional recipe for Strawberries Romanoff calls for the berries to be sliced and soaked in orange liquor, then put over ice cream, and topped with cream sauce. It was probably invented by the French pastry chef Marie Antoine Careme for Russian Tsar Nicholas I.
