Bring 150ml of the milk to the boil in a pan, then pour a little into the egg mix and whisk until smooth. Add the rest of the milk and whisk in thoroughly
- 300ml of milk
3
Transfer the mix to a pan and cook on a gentle heat, stirring continually, until it achieves the consistency of a thick custard. Remove from the heat and whisk in 2 tbsp of creme de framboise liquor
- 2 tbsp of creme de framboise liqueur

Transfer to a suitable container and let it cool, then add the whipping cream to the mix

- 75ml of water
- 20ml of creme de framboise liqueur

Place the bowl over a pan of simmering water and whisk rapidly until the mix doubles in volume, then remove from the heat

To serve, take six small bowls and place eight to twelve raspberries in each. Cover the raspberries with two to three tablespoons of the cream, then top with the sabayon

Use a blowtorch or place the bowls under a hot grill to glaze each bowl until the sabayon turns golden brown. Do not overcook or the eggs will scramble
