Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 500 grams fresh strawberries
- 4 egg yolks
- 50 grams granulated sugar
- 200 milliliters heavy cream
- 2 tablespoons Grand Marnier
- 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
- 1 tablespoon powdered sugar (for garnish)
- 4 leaves fresh mint leaves (for garnish)
Instructions
Preheat your oven's broiler to high heat.
Wash the strawberries, remove the stems, and slice them in half. Divide the strawberries evenly among four oven-safe ramekins or shallow gratin dishes.
In a mixing bowl, whisk together the egg yolks and granulated sugar until the mixture becomes pale and creamy.
In a small saucepan, gently heat the heavy cream over low heat until it just starts to simmer. Slowly pour the warm cream into the egg yolk mixture while whisking continuously to avoid curdling.
Stir in the Grand Marnier and vanilla extract until well combined.
Pour the prepared cream mixture evenly over the strawberries in the ramekins, covering them generously.
Place the ramekins on a baking sheet and transfer them to the oven. Broil for 3-5 minutes, or until the cream topping is golden and slightly caramelized. Keep a close eye to prevent burning.
Remove the ramekins from the oven and let them cool slightly for 2-3 minutes.
Dust the tops with powdered sugar and garnish with fresh mint leaves before serving. Serve warm.
