Bonjour my friends, I’m Frankie and welcome to Club Foody!
During summer, most of us like to make desserts with fruits. Hey,
it’s totally understandable with the abundance of them around us. Some of my favorites are Pavlova,
a Tropical Pineapple Upside Down Cake as well as Blueberry Cake,
Peach Melba or Peach Cobbler, of course a pretty Fruit Salad or this one…
In today’s episode, I’ll show you how to make my Zabaione, mmm!
This rich Italian dessert is absolutely divine! With a few ingredients, this is a sweet treat
everyone will rave about. Oh, did I mention that I put my own little twist on it. So my friends, let’s get cooking!
First, we’ll prep our blueberries… In a small bowl, we’ll combine them with 1 tablespoon of
granulated sugar – it’s optional, you don’t have to do it but I think it gives a little more
sweetness to the Zabaione. If you go for it, stir well and let it sit until ready to serve.
Next, in a large bowl, we’ll add the remaining 3 tablespoons of sugar to the egg yolks
and whisk until the mixture is smooth and no longer grainy, it should take a couple minutes.
To this, we’ll add Limoncello and if you want to make it from scratch, click on the top right
corner of your screen to get the recipe and then a small pinch of fleur de sel – this
is the brand I use and you can find it these days at most grocery stores and online as well.
We’ll whisk for 2 minutes before moving on to the stove. In a pot over medium heat,
we’ll add a little bit of water and bring it to a boil. Then reduce the heat to medium-low and
let it simmer gently. Then we’ll place the bowl making sure the water doesn’t touch the bottom
and whisk constantly until the mixture gets thick. I like to lift my bowl once in a while so my yolks
don’t scramble but also to check on my water if it’s still simmering gently and if not, I
increase the heat again. Eventually, we’ll see the custard thicken and this is a good indication
that we’re almost there – yes I know, our arms hurt but who doesn’t need some exercise, right!
So it takes about 8 to 10 minutes. When it looks similar to this, we’ll remove from the heat
and spoon the mixture over the blueberries, top with some lemon zest and garnish with a mint leaf.
And my friends, this is our Zabaione! This rich Italian dessert is simply incredible!
With only a few ingredients and a good arm, this delectable treat can be ready in about 15 minutes.
Next time you’re entertaining, impress your guests by making this classic…
