Grandma's Strawberry Gratin
A dazzling dessert for spring
Prep Time: 15 minutes mins
Race: Dessert
Difficulty: easy
Servings: 4
- 600 g of strawberries
- 3 eggs
- 75 g sugar
- 1 sachet vanilla sugar
- 10 cl liquid cream
Wash the strawberries, remove the stems and cut them in half. Set aside.
In a small saucepan, beat the egg yolks, sugar and vanilla sugar with an electric mixer until the mixture is creamy. Pour in the cream and mix.
Prepare a barely bubbling water bath. Set up the pan, and whisk again until the mixture thickens. Be careful not to let it boil!
Remove from heat and let cool.
Beat two egg whites until stiff and add to the mixture.
Spread the cream in a gratin dish or small ramekins and place the strawberries on top, without pushing them in.
Place under the broiler and watch your dessert! In a few minutes, it will be well "bronzed". It will then be time to enjoy it.
