Method

• Prepare the praline baskets and set aside.

• Put the yolks in the bowl and add the sugar and water.
• Set the bowl in a basin of simmering water or over a very low flame and beat as vigorously as possible with a wire whisk.
• Beat until the mixture is quite foamy and thickened.
• Immediately beat in the almond- or hazelnut-flavored liqueur.
• Place the bowl in a basin of cold water containing ice and continue beating until cool.
• Whip the cream until stiff.
• Add one-third of the whipped cream to the sauce and beat it in.
• Fold in the remaining cream.
• Spoon the mixture into a metal or glass dish and place in the freezer.
