A fantastic end to an elegant meal.  Refreshing and light with a sense of richness that will lend to your meal the grand finale that will give you and your guests a great memory of a great time spent at dinner.  This can be made a day or even two ahead of time.

Berries with Sabayon

Serves 8

6 egg yolks

1 cup superfine sugar

6 Tbsp Grand Marnier

1½ cup heavy cream

2-3 boxes strawberries (or other berries)

Beat egg yolks and sugar until very light in color.  Whisk in Grand Marnier.  Set over a pan of simmering water and whisk until thick (~150˚) and sugar is melted.  Remove from heat; cool over ice water, stirring constantly until cold (4-5 minutes).

Whip cold heavy cream until soft peaks form and fold gently into cold custard.  Refrigerate.  Can be made a day ahead.

Spoon over fresh berries and serve.
