Rinse and hull the strawberries, then halve or quarter them, depending on their size. Mix them with the sugar and juices and place them in an ovenproof dish (rather large and shallow) to infuse. Preheat the oven to 175°C (top/bottom heat). Beat the two egg yolks with 1 tablespoon of hot water and the lemon zest until frothy. Sift in the cornstarch and fold in. Beat the two egg whites with the vanilla sugar until stiff peaks form. Fold the beaten egg whites into the egg yolk foam. Place this cream on top of the strawberries. Bake for about 15 minutes, until the topping is golden brown. Immediately dust with icing sugar and serve as a warm dessert or sweet snack.
