Frozen Chocolate Zabaglione Recipes

FROZEN ZABAGLIONE

Steps:

• Whisk egg yolks, salt, sugar, and Marsala wine together in a metal mixing bowl.
• Set the bowl over a medium-low heat, or over a double boiler. Hold the bowl with one hand using a towel or pot-holder, while whisking constantly with the other. Continue cooking until the mixture is very thick and reaches the ribbon stage, about 10 minutes.
• Remove custard from heat and allow to cool completely, preferably over an ice bath, whisking occasionally, 20 to 30 minutes.
• Pour cold heavy cream into another bowl and whisk until soft peaks form. Transfer into the cooled custard and gently fold everything together until just barely combined; do not overmix.
• Transfer into an airtight container, cover the top with plastic wrap, and seal. Place in a freezer until firm, at least 4 hours, or up to overnight.

CHOCOLATE ZABAGLIONE

Steps:

• Add cream and chocolate to a heavy small saucepan. Cook over low heat, stirring often, until the chocolate chips are melted and smooth. Set aside and keep warm.
• Whisk the egg yolks, sugar, Marsala, and salt in a large glass bowl until blended. Set the bowl over a saucepan of simmering water, but do not allow the bottom of the bowl to touch the water. Whisk the egg mixture over the simmering water until it is thick and creamy, about 4 minutes. Remove from the heat.
• Using a large rubber spatula, fold the melted chocolate mixture into the egg mixture.
• Divide the strawberries among 6 coupe dishes. Pour the warm zabaglione over the strawberries and serve.

ZABAGLIONE

Steps:

• Bring 1-inch of water to a boil in a 4-quart saucepan set over high heat.
• Add the egg yolks and sugar to a large glass bowl. Using an electric hand mixer on the highest speed, beat the eggs and sugar until the mixture is thick, pale yellow, and the sugar is completely dissolved, 4 to 5 minutes. Decrease the mixer speed to low and add the Marsala and salt.
• Decrease the heat to maintain a simmer and put the bowl atop the saucepan with the boiling water, making sure the bottom of the bowl is not touching the water. Beat the mixture on medium speed, until it is thick, frothy, holds a ribbon, and the temperature reaches 145 to 150 degrees F, on an instant-read thermometer.
• Spoon the warm mixture into custard cups or serving glasses and serve immediately or allow to cool slightly. Serve with fresh berries, if desired.

FROZEN ITALIAN ZABAGLIONE TART WITH MARSALA-LEMON SAUCE

Steps:

• For crust:
• Preheat oven to 350°F. Finely grind amaretti cookies in processor (makes about 1 1/2 cups crumbs). With processor running, gradually add melted butter and process until crumbs begin to stick together. Press crust mixture onto bottom and up sides of 9-inch-diameter tart pan with removable bottom. Bake crust until pale golden, about 6 minutes. Cool. Gently press up bottom of pan just to loosen crust from sides (do not remove from pan). Place crust in freezer.
• For filling:
• Soak currants in 1/2 cup Marsala in small bowl for 1 hour.
• Whisk remaining 1 cup Marsala, sugar and yolks in large metal bowl. Set bowl over saucepan of rapidly simmering water and whisk until candy thermometer inserted into mixture registers 170°F, about 4 minutes. Remove bowl from over water. Whisk in corn syrup, vanilla and nutmeg. Refrigerate zabaglione until cool, whisking occasionally, about 20 minutes.
• Beat cream in bowl to stiff peaks. Add zabaglione and beat just until smooth. Drain currants and fold into zabaglione (reserve Marsala for another use). Place in freezer until slightly stiffened but not frozen, about 1 hour.
• Spoon zabaglione cream into crust, mounding in center. Freeze until almost firm, about 2 hours. Cover and freeze until firm, at least 6 hours or overnight.
• For sauce:
• Stir Marsala and sugar in heavy medium saucepan over medium heat until sugar dissolves. Increase heat and boil until syrup is reduced to generous 2/3 cup, about 17 minutes. Add lemon peel and nutmeg and boil 1 minute. Cool slightly. (Can be prepared 8 hours ahead. Let stand at room temperature. Rewarm over low heat before serving.)
• Remove tart from pan. Transfer tart to platter. Arrange strawberries around top edge of tart. Cut into wedges. Serve, passing warm sauce separately.

FROZEN ESPRESSO ZABAGLIONE

Steps:

• Put egg yolks in a medium-size mixing bowl. Add sugar and whisk together for a minute, until frothy. Whisk in espresso and Cognac, then place bowl over double boiler. (For a makeshift double boiler, put 3 inches of water in a saucepan approximately the same size as bowl. Put the saucepan on stove, bring the water to a boil, then reduce heat to a rapid simmer.)
• Whisk rapidly until egg yolk mixture is warmed through. Continue whisking as the mixture begins to thicken. After 2 minutes or so it should have doubled in volume and have the consistency of softly whipped cream. Remove from heat and whisk for a minute more.
• Pour custard into individual demitasse cups or into a serving dish. Cover with plastic wrap and freeze for several hours or overnight.
• Remove from freezer 10 minutes before serving. Dust with cocoa powder and powdered sugar if desired.

FROZEN RASPBERRY ZABAGLIONE ON MERINGUES WITH CHOCOLATE SAUCE

Steps:

• For Zabaglione:
• Puree raspberries and juices in blender. Strain puree into bowl, pressing hard on fruit to release all pulp and juices. Mix 2 tablespoons corn syrup into puree. Cover and refrigerate while preparing zabaglione.
• Combine 8 egg yolks, sugar, Grand Marnier and orange juice concentrate in large bowl. Using electric mixer, beat yolk mixture 1 minute. Set bowl over large saucepan of simmering water and beat yolk mixture at high speed until very thick and thermometer registers 160°F, about 12 minutes.
• Place bowl over larger bowl filled with ice and water and cool zabaglione, whisking occasionally, about 15 minutes. Fold in 3/4 cup raspberry puree. Transfer to covered container and freeze. (Can be prepared 2 days ahead.)
• For Sauce:
• Stir chopped chocolate, corn syrup, 1 tablespoon water and 1/2 cup plus 3 tablespoons raspberry puree in heavy medium saucepan over low heat until chocolate melts and sauce is smooth. Cover and refrigerate. (Can be made 2 days ahead.)
• For Meringues:
• Preheat oven to 200°F. Line large baking sheet with foil; grease foil lightly. Using electric mixer, beat 3 egg whites and 1/4 teaspoon cream of tartar in large bowl until soft peaks form. Gradually add sugar, beating until meringue is stiff and shiny. Fold in half of toasted almonds.
• Drop meringue in 8 mounds onto prepared sheet. using back of spoon, make indentation in each mound. Sprinkle meringues with remaining toasted almonds. Bake 1 hour. Turn off oven, leave oven door closed and let meringues dry in oven overnight.
• Place meringues on platter and fill each with large scoop of zabaglione. Wrap meringues tightly and freeze at least 8 hours and up to 1 day.
• Rewarm chocolate sauce over low heat. Place each filled meringue on plate. Spoon warm chocolate sauce over and serve immediately.

CHOCOLATE ZABAGLIONE

Steps:

• In a small, heavy saucepan, bring the cream just to a simmer over medium-high heat. Remove from the heat and add the chocolate chips. Stir until the chocolate is melted and smooth. Set aside and keep warm.
• Fill a large saucepan with enough water to come 2 inches up the sides of the pan, and bring to a simmer. In a large metal bowl, whisk the sugar, Marsala, egg yolks, and salt to blend. Set the bowl over the saucepan of simmering water (do not allow the bottom of the bowl to touch the water). Whisk the egg mixture constantly until it is thick and creamy and a thermometer inserted into the mixture registers 160 degrees F, about 4 minutes. Remove from the heat.
• Using a large rubber spatula, fold the chocolate mixture into the egg mixture. (If serving the zabaglione cold, cover and refrigerate it until cold, at least 8 hours and up to 1 day. Do not rewarm.)
• Divide the strawberries among 6 coupe dishes. Spoon the warm zabaglione over and serve.

FROZEN CHOCOLATE ZABAGLIONE

Steps:

• 1. In a medium saucepan, heat the cream over medium heat just until it begins to bubble around the edges, about 5 minutes. Remove from heat. Whisk in the chocolate, and continue whisking until the chocolate is melted and incorporated with the cream to form a ganache (gently heat the cream a little more, if necessary, until the chocolate melts and mixes completely). 2. Remove the ganache to a large bowl set over a bowl of ice and continue to whisk until the ganache chills and begins to thicken. Keep whisking until the ganache has a light, whipped cream-like consistency. Remove the bowl from the ice bath and set aside. 3. In a large bowl, whisk together the egg yolks and sugar until combined and frothy. Whisk in the Port. 4. Set the bowl over a large pot of simmering water, making sure the bottom of the bowl does not touch the water. Continue to whisk until the mixture increases in volume and thickens to a thick, foamy cream, easily coating the back of a spoon. The consistency should be similar to a very thick hollandaise. 5. Remove from heat and gently fold the zabaglione into the whipped ganache. Place the mixture in a baking dish or bowl and cover the surface with a sheet of plastic wrap. Freeze until firm, about 1½ to 2 hours. This makes a generous quart of frozen zabaglione.
