Delicious and easy, this is a fabulous mix of berries and yogurt! If you like, you can make a thin layer of graham crackers or granola in each vanilla/berry layer. That gives it a little more crunch.

Categories     dessert

Time 30m

Yield 8 servings

Number Of Ingredients 6

2/3 cup plus 2 tablespoons sugar
2/3 cup water
1/2 teaspoon pure vanilla extract
1 cup heavy cream
8 egg yolks
Raspberry sauce (see recipe)

Steps:

  • Combine the sugar and water in a saucepan. Bring to a boil and add the vanilla. Let simmer briefly.
  • Put the cream in a chilled bowl and beat until stiff. Chill until ready to use.
  • Meanwhile, put the yolks in a heavy saucepan and start beating with a wire whisk. Continue beating vigorously while gradually adding the simmering syrup.
  • Put the saucepan on a heatproof pad and continue beating until the volume increases four or five times the original. Do not let the mixture get too hot or it will scramble. It will resemble a light yellow, frothy but well-thickened custard or a sabayon. This should require four or five minutes of vigorous beating.
  • Pour and scrape the mixture into the bowl of an electric mixer. Beat on high speed until the custard is cooled to room temperature, seven minutes or longer.
  • Scrape the whipped cream onto the yolk mixture. Carefully fold it in until well blended. Pour and scrape the mixture into a decorative crystal or other bowl or serving dish.
  • Place the dish in the freezer and let stand several hours or, preferably, over night until frozen. Serve with raspberry sauce.
