Fruit Sabayon 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.

SLICED STONE FRUITS WITH MUSCAT SABAYON

Steps:

• Cut large fruits into 1/2-inch-thick slices. Halve and pit cherries. Divide among 4 serving dishes or cups.
• Whisk together egg yolks and sugar in a large nonreactive stainless steel bowl. Set bowl over a pan of simmering water (water should be about 2 inches below bowl). Pour in Muscat, and whisk vigorously to incorporate air until mixture has more than doubled in volume, is lightly frothy, and is as thick as softly whipped cream, about 3 minutes. If yolks begin to cook at sides of bowl, continue to whisk while lifting the bowl about 3 to 4 inches above the simmering water.
• Spoon sabayon over fruit, making sure not to scrape up any cooked egg from sides, and serve immediately.

WINTER FRUIT WITH PROSECCO SABAYON

Steps:

• Arrange orange slices on a serving platter or individual plates. Scrape vanilla bean seeds into a small bowl. Add 1/4 cup sugar, 1/4 cup Prosecco and salt; combine and drizzle over oranges. Refrigerate until serving., In a double boiler or metal bowl over simmering water, constantly whisk the egg yolks and remaining sugar and Prosecco until mixture reaches 160° and coats the back of a spoon. Drizzle over oranges. Serve immediately.

EASY FRESH FRUIT SABAYON

Steps:

• In metal mixing bowl, whisk together all except the berries.
• Pour into double boiler or over simmering water in a saucepan if you don't have one.
• Whisk the sabayon (that's what it is now!) continuously until thick which takes about 5 minutes.
• This should look a lot like softly whipped cream and easily coat the back of a spoon.
• Divide berries among 4 serving dishes.
• Large wine glasses work well.
• Equally pour the sabayon over the berries.
• ENJOY!

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.

FRUIT SABAYON

Steps:

• Heat water in a pan.
• Allow it to boil.
• The pan is to be used as a double boiler.
• Reduce heat, allow to simmer.
• Beat egg yolks in a bowl.
• Add sugar to the egg yolks.
• Mix well.
• Keep this bowl containing yolks and sugar (sabayyon) over the pan in which the water is simmering.
• Keep mixing the tolks- sugar mixture for 3-5 minutes while holding it over the pan.
• Put the chopped fruits in a bowl.
• Pour the sabayyon over the fruits.
• Gratinate for 2-3 minutes until a crisp brown colour appears over the fruits.
• Serve immediately if you want a hot dessert or add some ice cream (your favourite flavour) over the fruits-sabayyon mixture and serve as a cold dessert.
• Pour the sabayyon over this.

CHAMPAGNE SABAYON

Steps:

• Combine the egg yolks, Champagne, and sugar in the top of a double boiler and whisk over simmering water (make sure the bowl does not touch the water in the bottom pot). Whisk constantly until thick and foamy. Remove to an ice bath and continue whisking until cool. Set aside.
• Whip chilled heavy cream to soft peak stage and fold gently into custard. To achieve the most volume, plan to fold in whipped cream just before serving. Serve in chilled glasses layered with fresh fruit and/or sponge cake. Garnish with mint.

SABAYON WITH STRAWBERRIES

Steps:

• Preparing the strawberries:
• About an hour before serving the dessert, rinse the strawberries (stems on) and drain them on paper towels. Slice off the stems and halve or quarter the strawberries lengthwise, depending on size, into a bowl. Sprinkle over the sugar and the lemon juice; fold gently together to blend well. Taste a strawberry, add more sugar or lemon juice if needed, and set aside to macerate.
• Whipping the sabayon:
• If you want to serve the sabayon warm, make it at the last minute. If you want to glaze the sabayon under the broiler, or make it ahead of time to serve chilled, have ready a large bowl (larger than the one in which you whip the sauce) partly filled with ice cubes.
• Whisk to blend the yolks, Marsala, and sugar in the stainless-steel bowl. Rest the bowl in the saucepan over hot water. Whisk constantly for 4 to 5 minutes or more to cook the sauce, until it has the consistency of lightly whipped cream. Clear the bottom of the bowl constantly with the whisk so that the eggs do not scramble, and adjust the heat as needed. Taste the sauce - the sabayon should never get so hot that you can't stick your very clean finger in it - and whisk drops of lemon juice or more sugar if you want. When thick, foamy, and tripled in volume, remove from heat. It can be served hot as is, tepid, or cool.
• Serving:
• Spoon a portion of strawberries - 1/2 cup or more - into each goblet or glass, and top with 1/3 to 1/2 cup of warm or cool sabayon. Or put the sauce in the glass first, then the strawberries.
• Variation: Strawberries Glazed with Sabayon
• Cool the sabayon to room temperature. Whip the cream and sugar until soft peaks form, and fold the cream into the sabayon with a rubber spatula.
• Turn on the broiler. Spread the strawberries in the baking dish in one layer (or in individual dishes). Spoon the sauce over the berries so they are completely covered and set the dish under the broiler, 5 to 6 inches from the heat. With the door open - so you can watch carefully - broil for a minute or two, turning the dish as needed to glaze evenly, until the top of the sabayon is nicely browned and slightly crusted. Serve right away.
