Chocolate brownies with caramel mousse

To test if the zabaglione is ready, draw a figure of 8 in the mixture using your whisk. It should hold for a few seconds.
1. Soak the strawberries in the caster sugar and a squeeze of lemon juice or spoonful of water.
2. Bring a saucepan of water to a simmer. Place the egg yolks, caster sugar, wine, juice and zest in a large heatproof bowl that will fit over the saucepan. Whisk until combined. Place the bowl over the saucepan and whisk continuously. The water should just be simmering. Continue whisking until thick and airy, about 5–10 minutes.
3. Place the strawberries in serving dishes and spoon over the zabaglione. Serve immediately with shortbread biscuits or as is.
