Chilled Strawberry Pimms Zabaglione Recipes

ZABAGLIONE WITH BERRIES

Steps:

• Toss 1 quart sliced strawberries with 1 tablespoon sugar in a bowl; let macerate 10 minutes. Put 5 egg yolks, 1 egg white, 3 tablespoons sugar, 1 tablespoon marsala wine, 1/2 teaspoon vanilla and a pinch of salt in a large heatproof bowl. Set the bowl over a saucepan of barely simmering water (do not let the bowl touch the water) and whisk vigorously over medium to medium-high heat until thick and creamy, 8 to 10 minutes. Immediately pour over the berries and serve with biscotti.

CHILLED STRAWBERRY SOUP

Steps:

• Puree strawberries, milk, cream and sour cream in a blender or food processor until smooth. Stir in sugar to taste. Chill 8 hours or overnight in refrigerator before serving.

COLD ZABAGLIONE

Steps:

• Fit a bowl over a saucepan of barely simmering water, and put the egg yolks and sugar into the bowl.
• Using an electric whisk, start whisking the yolks and sugar over the simmering water. The mixture should become pale and thick like super-aerated double cream, and by the end it should have at least tripled in volume and be exuberantly frothy. This could take up to 15 minutes.
• Continue whisking as you slowly pour in the Prosecco; you should then have a soft, billowing mass. Remove the bowl from its pan of simmering water, and place on a cold surface or stand it in a pan of cold water, and whisk until cool. Then whisk the whipping cream and fold into the egg mixture. Pour into 2 glasses, garnish with chocolate shavings, if using, and serve.

BASIL & STRAWBERRY PIMM'S

Steps:

• The night before, whizz the basil leaves with 500ml water. Fill 2-3 ice cube trays and freeze overnight until solid.
• On the day, mix the Pimm's with the chilled lemonade in a large jug. Add some basil ice cubes and the sliced strawberries, stir and serve.

WHIPPED CREAM ZABAGLIONE

Steps:

• Fill a large saucepan with several inches of water, and bring to a boil over high heat. Reduce the heat until the water maintains a strong simmer. Place the egg yolks, Marsala wine, and sugar into a metal mixing bowl. Place the bowl over the simmering water. Beat constantly with a wire whisk until the zabaglione turns pale yellow and thickens to the consistency of softly whipped cream.
• Scrape the zabaglione into a clean mixing bowl and set over ice, stirring occasionally until cold. Once cold, fold in the whipped cream.

SABAYON - ZABAGLIONE

Steps:

• Beat egg yolks and sugar together until fluffy.
• Add wine gradually, continuing to beat.
• Cook in top of double boiler over water until the thickness of cream, stirring constantly.
• Cool, pour into parfait glasses and chill.

ZABAGLIONE

Steps:

• TO COOK THE ZABAGLIONE: Set up a double boiler or a medium-size stainless-steel bowl over a pot of simmering water. Check to make sure the bottom of the bowl is not touching the water, or the eggs may scramble.
• With a hand held electric mixer, beat the egg yolks and sugar together until pale yellow.
• Add the Marsala and set the bowl over the simmering water.
• Continue to beat with the electric mixer until the eggs triple in volume, thicken and reach a temperature of 140 F., as registered on an instant thermometer. Be sure to beat the eggs until they reach this temperature at which salmonella bacteria is killed. This will take about 10 to 15 minutes. Be sure to move the beater around the bowl so the eggs cook evenly; there will be quite a bit of spattering.
• TO SERVE THE ZABAGLIONE: Transfer the mixture to wine glasses and serve immediately accompanied by ladyfingers or Italian cookies known as "Savoiardi."
• An alternative way to serve this is to take slices of pound cake or panettone and set them on a broiler pan. Cover the cake slices with a layer of sliced strawberries or peeled Comice pear, and ladle a portion of the zabaglione over the fruit. Broil the slices for a minute or until the zabaglione is bubbling and lightly browned.
• Serve immediately.
