Grappa Zabaglione Recipes

ESPRESSO ZABAGLIONE

Steps:

• Whisk the yolks and sugar in a large glass bowl to blend. Set the bowl over a saucepan of simmering water (do not allow the bottom of the bowl to touch the water). Whisk until the yolk mixture is very thick and fluffy, about 3 minutes. Whisk in the hot espresso. Pour the espresso mixture into mugs and serve immediately.

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.

GRAPPA ZABAGLIONE

Steps:

• Bring three cups of water to a boil in a three-quart double boiler.
• Beat the yolks with the sugar off the heat in the top of the double boiler until the mixture is thickened and light lemon color.
• Reduce the heat and let the water come to a simmer. Place the bowl snuggly over the simmering water and whisk until the mixture becomes foamy and thickens, about 10 minutes. Gradually whisk the grappa and white wine into the mixture, whisking constantly until the mixture puffs and coats the back of a spoon.
• Whisk the zabaglione over an ice-water bath until completely cool. Cover and refrigerate until chilled.
• When ready to serve, whip the cream and fold it into the zabaglione. Spoon the zabaglione over fresh berries.

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.
