Orange Zabaglione Food

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.

ORANGE ZABAGLIONE

Steps:

• Whisk the egg yolks, egg, sugar, orange juice and sherry in the top of a double boiler until light and creamy. Place over simmering water. Cook for 10 minutes or until thickened, whisking constantly. The mixture will foam up before thickening.
• Pour into 6 glasses and serve immediately or place the top of the double boiler over a bowl of cool water and whisk until cool. Fold in the whipped cream and chill until ready to 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.
