Strawberries with Balsamic Sabayon is a classic dessert that originated in Italy. The word 'sabayon' comes from the French word 'sabaglione', which means 'whipped foam'. It is a light and frothy dessert that is made by whisking egg yolks, sugar, and a sweet wine or vinegar over a double boiler until it becomes thick and creamy. In this recipe, we use aged balsamic vinegar for a unique twist on the classic sabayon, and pair it with fresh and juicy strawberries. The result is a sweet and tangy treat that is perfect for any occasion, from romantic dinners to family celebrations.

Instructions

1.	In a metal bowl, whisk together the sugar, egg yolks, and aged balsamic vinegar.
2.	Place the bowl on a pot of simmering water and continue whisking until the sabayon is thick and pale yellow.
3.	Remove the sabayon from the heat and set aside to let it cool.
4.	In a mixing bowl, whip the cream to medium stiff peaks.
5.	Gently fold the cooled sabayon into the whipped cream.
6.	Divide the strawberries evenly among four dessert plates and spoon the sabayon mixture over the top.
7.	Garnish with a crisp cookie and serve immediately.
