Instructions
Wash fruit and cut large strawberries in half. Divide among four individual gratin dishes.
Place egg yolks in a heatproof bowl. Stir in caster sugar. Set over a saucepan of hot water and use a whisk to beat for 5-7 minutes or until foamy. Gradually add the liqueur. Remove from heat and gently fold in the whipped cream.
