Mixed Berries with Almond Sabayon
Directions
-
Preheat oven to 180°C (350°F). Spread almonds on baking sheet and toast on middle rack of oven until golden brown, about 5 min. Set aside. (Nuts can be toasted up to 2 days in advance.) Halve or quarter strawberries. In a bowl, mix berries with 1 tsp (5 mL) almond extract or amaretto. Set aside.
-
Using a double boiler, combine egg yolks, maple syrup and remaining almond extract. Whisk mixture vigorously until it becomes pale, fluffy and doubles in volume, about 8 min. Remove from heat and set aside.
-
Arrange berries in 6 martini glasses and mound sabayon mixture on top of fruit. Garnish with toasted almonds, a few pomegranate seeds and mint.
