Coffee Sabayon Recipes

SABAYON

Steps:

• Pour a few inches of water into a pan and bring to a boil. Reduce heat to medium-low to keep water at a simmer. Combine egg yolks, water, Marsala, and sugar in a large heat-proof bowl and set above the simmering water. Cook, whisking constantly with a balloon whisk, until sugar is dissolved and mixture starts to thicken, about 2 minutes.
• Continue cooking and whisking until sabayon is the texture of mousse and holds its shape, 15 to 20 minutes. Lift bowl occasionally to let steam escape and keep eggs from overcooking. Serve immediately.

COFFEE SABAYON

Steps:

• Steep instant espresso in boiling water and cool to room temperature. Mix with 4 egg yolks, and sugar and set in the top of a double boiler. Beat with an electric beater until mixture is thick and fluffy. Beating constantly, pour the rum into the egg yolk mixture in a slow thin stream and continue beating until mixture almost triples in volume; this may take 10 minutes or so.
• To serve, spoon mixture into balloon wine glasses or goblets, or chill for 30 minutes and serve as a sauce over ladyfingers or angel food cake.

CHOCOLATE MOUSSE SABAYON

Steps:

• In a double boiler or small saucepan set over simmering water, combine the chocolate and butter. Heat, stirring often, just until melted and smooth. Remove from the heat.
• Combine the egg yolks with half of the sugar in large bowl of an electric mixer. Beat for several minutes, until the yolks are thick and pale yellow.
• In another large bowl (with clean beaters), beat the whites with the remaining sugar until soft peaks form.
• Pour the chocolate mixture into the bowl containing the egg yolks and stir with a rubber spatula to blend. Fold the egg whites into chocolate mixture gently, but thoroughly. Transfer the mousse to a serving bowl; refrigerate, covered, for 12 hours. When ready to serve the mousse, dust with cocoa powder or top with chocolate curls, if desired.

PALE ALE SABAYON

Steps:

• Whisk yolks, ale, sugar and vanilla in mixing bowl. Over a double boiler, whisk and cook the mixture over simmering water until thick. Chill and then serve.

TRUE ORANGE SABAYON

Steps:

• Combine all the ingredients in a medium nonreactive bowl. Set up a double boiler, adding 3 inches of water to the bottom pot. Bring to the boil. Whisk the ingredients until frothy. Pour into the double boiler and continue to whisk until the sauce is lightly thickened, about 7 minutes. If the sauce seems to be thickening too rapidly, lift the top pot off the heat, whisking continuously to disperse heat. Return the pan to the double boiler and continue whisking until done.

SABAYON

Steps:

• Prepare a large ice bath, and set aside. Fill a medium saucepan with 2 inches water. Set over medium heat, and bring to simmer.
• In a large stainless-steel bowl, whisk together egg yolks, salt, and sugar until very pale. Add Muscat; whisk to combine.
• Place bowl over a pan of simmering water, and whisk until mixture has thickened and has tripled in volume, 8 to 10 minutes. Remove mixture from heat, and immediately transfer to ice bath. Whisk until chilled.
• In a large chilled bowl, whip cream until soft peaks form. Add lemon juice, and fold the whipped cream into the chilled sabayon. Serve immediately.
