Vin Santo Zabaglione With Orange And Grapefruit Food

ZABAIONE CON CREMA: ZABAGLIONE WITH CREAM

Steps:

• Put the egg yolks in a stainless steel bowl. Whisk in the sugar, and Vin Santo wine or Marsala.
• Bring water to a boil in a saucepan. Lower the heat and place the steel bowl over but not touching the water. Whisk the yolk mixture for 8 minutes, or until it becomes light and creamy. Monitor the heat, otherwise you'll end up with scrambled eggs. Set aside and let cool.
• In another bowl, whip the cream with a hand mixer.
• Gently fold the zabaione into the whipped cream with a rubber spatula, and place in the refrigerator for about 30 minutes, or until ready to serve. Serve in glasses with blueberries on top.

Remove from heat.
• Divide fruit among 4 stemmed glasses and top with zabaglione. Serve immediately.
