I call this one of my "do-ahead" desserts because you can make the sabayon (a variation of whipped cream) hours ahead and chill it in the refrigerator until ready to serve. You can wash and prep the berries ahead of time too, and refrigerate them, then when you're ready to serve the dessert, just take them out of the refrigerator and assemble them in your beautiful dessert glasses (champagne glasses will make your dessert look sexy!).
Ingredients:
large egg yolks
1/2 cup sugar
1/4 cup Grand Marnier liqueur
1 cup whipping cream
1 cup fresh blueberries
1 cup fresh raspberries
1 cup fresh blackberries
Mint leaves for garnish (optional)
Directions:
In a medium stainless steel bowl, whisk the yolks and sugar until foamy. Add the Grand Marnier, and stir to combine. Set the bowl on top of a saucepan with simmering water (don’t let the bottom of the bowl touch the water), and whisk for about 10 minutes or until frothy. Let cool.
Whip the cream until stiff (by hand, or using a stand-up mixer), and gently fold it into the cooled egg mixture. Chill. (Can be prepared hours ahead and refrigerated until ready to serve.)
Spoon into dessert glasses and top with berries in season; garnish with mint leaves, if desired. Serves 4.
