Cook's Note
The egg yolks in this recipe are not cooked. This dish should not be prepared for pregnant women, babies and other young children, the elderly, or anyone whose health is compromised.
Variations
Other spirits, such as amaretto or rum, may be substituted for the Midori, but the gorgeous chartreuse green of this sauce complements the colors of the pineapple mousse and pistachios.
