Ingredients

  • Ingredients
    1. 2 pints strawberries, hulled and halved
    2. 1/4 cup sugar
    3. 1 teaspoon finely chopped mint
    4. 1/4 cup fresh lemon juice
    5. 3 large egg yolks
    6. 2 tablespoons Grand Marnier
    7. 1/2 teaspoon pure vanilla extract

Directions

  1. In a bowl, toss the strawberries with 1 tablespoon of the sugar and the mint. Fill a large bowl halfway with ice cubes and water; set a medium bowl in the water.
  2. In a large stainless steel bowl, combine the lemon juice, egg yolks, Grand Marnier, vanilla and the remaining 3 tablespoons of sugar. Set the bowl over a saucepan containing 1 1/2 inches of simmering water and whisk constantly until the egg mixture is light and thick enough to leave a ribbon trail when the whisk is lifted, about 10 minutes.
  3. Pour the sabayon into the medium bowl set in ice water and whisk until cool, about 5 minutes. Spoon the sabayon into parfait glasses and serve with the strawberries.

Make Ahead

The strawberries can be prepared up to 1 hour ahead.
