Method
- Set the grill to high. Whisk the egg yolks, sugar, liqueur and vanilla extract together in a large heatproof bowl over a pan of hot (not boiling) water. Make sure the bowl base isn’t in contact with the water. Using an electric hand-whisk, mix well, until the mixture is thick, pale and fluffy and the whisk leaves a ribbon trail when you lift it out. Take off the heat and whisk for another couple of mins.
- Pour the custard into the dishes. Add the strawberries. Put dishes under the grill (about 15cm/6in from the heat) for a couple of mins until the custard turns golden brown. Dust with icing sugar and serve hot.
