4 large egg yolks
4 tbsp caster sugar
8 tbsp sweet sherry or cider
large pinch ground cinnamon

and strawberry or mint leaves -- to decorate
1. Divide the strawberries between 4 heatproof glass dishes and stand on
saucers.

heatproof bowl.
3. Just before serving, half fill a pan with water and bring to the boil,
then reduce the heat. Place the bowl over the water, making sure it doesn't
touch the water, and whisk the egg yolk mixture for 4-5 minutes with an
electric whisk until very thick and foamy. Quickly pour over the
strawberries.

Serve warm with amaretti biscuits, if liked.

NOTES : Wonderfully light, this dessert is best finished at the very last
moment so that the sauce is still warm when you serve it.
