Grandma's Strawberry Gratin

Step 1

Wash the strawberries, remove the stems and cut them in half. Set aside.

Step 2

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.

Step 3

Prepare a barely bubbling water bath. Set up the pan, and whisk again until the mixture thickens. Be careful not to let it boil!

Step 4

Remove from heat and let cool.

Step 5

Beat two egg whites until stiff and add to the mixture.

Step 6

Spread the cream in a gratin dish or small ramekins and place the strawberries on top, without pushing them in.

Step 7

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.
