Romanoff Sauce

Here is an Old World recipe that has been modernized! It is delicious served over hulled, strawberries, slice peaches, or fresh blueberries.

• Ready In: 40 mins
• Serves: 6

Ingredients

• 1 1⁄2 cups water
• 6  egg yolks
• 1  cup sugar
• 1⁄3 cup sherry wine or 1⁄3 cup  fruit-flavored  liqueur
• 1 (12 ounce) container  frozen whipped topping, thawed

Directions

1. Place the water in the bottom of a double boiler. Bring to a boil over high heat. Reduce the heat to low and, in the top of the double boiler, combine the egg yolks and sugar. Stir constantly for 5-6 minutes until the sugar dissolves and the mixture begins to thicken.
2. Remove from heat and add the sherry. Let cool for 20-30 minutes.
3. Place the whipped topping in a large bowl and fold in the cooled egg mixture until evenly combined. Serve over fresh fruit.
