Ingredients:
- 6 large egg yolks
- 1/3 cup sugar
- 1/3 cup dry white wine
- 2 Tablespoons Grand Marnier or Mandarin Napoleon Liqueur
- 1/2 pint whipping cream, whipped
- 2-1/2 cups tart red cherries, fresh or frozen
Preparation:
In the top of a double boiler, combine the egg yolks and sugar, beating well. Add the wine to the egg mixture. Have the water in the double boiler, simmering and place the pan with the egg mixture on top. Whisk the mixture constantly until it thickens into a fluffy custard, about 5 minutes.
