Recipe of Fotis Chryssanthidis,
a very promising Head Confectionner in Greece

"BHMAgourmet" magazine of "TO BHMA" newspaper (2010)

Ingredients (for 6-8 glasses):

3 gelatin sheets (15gr.)

8 egg yolks

150gr. of granulated sugar

80ml of Drambuie liqueur

550ml single cream (35% fat), beaten into a yoghurt-like texture

strawberries, cut in small cubes for garnishing

Method:

Soak the gelatin sheets in a bowl with cold water until they are softened.

Put in a metal bowl the egg yolks and the sugar and beat with a whisk to blend.

Fill with some water a saucepan and put on medium-low heat. When the water starts simmering place the metal bowl on the top of the saucepan (the bowl should not touch the water) and gently stir the egg mixture until it becomes fluffy and whitish.

Take the bowl off the heat and transfer the mixture into the bowl of a food processor. Beat the mixture while gradually adding in the liqueur.

Dissolve the gelatin sheets in a little warm water and then transfer into the bowl with the rest of the ingredients. Quickly stir the ingredients to blend well and in the end add the cream and stir again.

Equally fill the glasses with the cream mixture and leave in the fridge to chill. Garnish with the chopped strawberries and serve.
