Time 4h40m

Yield 6

Number Of Ingredients 5

6 large egg yolks
1 pinch salt
½ cup white sugar
⅔ cup dry Marsala wine
1 cup cold heavy cream

Steps:

  • Whisk egg yolks, salt, sugar, and Marsala wine together in a metal mixing bowl.
  • Set the bowl over a medium-low heat, or over a double boiler. Hold the bowl with one hand using a towel or pot-holder, while whisking constantly with the other. Continue cooking until the mixture is very thick and reaches the ribbon stage, about 10 minutes.
  • Remove custard from heat and allow to cool completely, preferably over an ice bath, whisking occasionally, 20 to 30 minutes.
  • Pour cold heavy cream into another bowl and whisk until soft peaks form. Transfer into the cooled custard and gently fold everything together until just barely combined; do not overmix.

FROZEN ESPRESSO ZABAGLIONE



Frozen Espresso Zabaglione image

Zabaglione (or Zabaione) is a classic Italian dessert custard, but is basically nothing more than egg yolks whipped with sugar, usually served warm or at room temperature. It is typically flavored with sweet Marsala wine, which has a caramel-like flavor, but other wines or liqueurs may be substituted for variation. In this version, espresso coffee and Cognac are used, and the zabaglione is frozen for several hours or overnight. It's an easy way to make gelato at home, with a light airy texture.

Time 15m

Yield 6 servings

Number Of Ingredients 5

6 egg yolks
6 tablespoons sugar
3/4 cup espresso
2 tablespoons Cognac
Cocoa powder and powdered sugar, for serving (optional)

Steps:

  • Put egg yolks in a medium-size mixing bowl. Add sugar and whisk together for a minute, until frothy. Whisk in espresso and Cognac, then place bowl over double boiler. (For a makeshift double boiler, put 3 inches of water in a saucepan approximately the same size as bowl. Put the saucepan on stove, bring the water to a boil, then reduce heat to a rapid simmer.)
  • Whisk rapidly until egg yolk mixture is warmed through. Continue whisking as the mixture begins to thicken. After 2 minutes or so it should have doubled in volume and have the consistency of softly whipped cream. Remove from heat and whisk for a minute more.
  • Pour custard into individual demitasse cups or into a serving dish. Cover with plastic wrap and freeze for several hours or overnight.
  • Remove from freezer 10 minutes before serving. Dust with cocoa powder and powdered sugar if desired.

Yield Serves 8

Number Of Ingredients 19

Crust
1 5.5-ounce package amaretti cookies (Italian macaroons)*
5 tablespoons unsalted butter, melted, hot
Filling
1/2 cup dried currants
1 1/2 cups sweet Marsala
3/4 cup sugar
10 large egg yolks
2 tablespoons dark corn syrup
2 teaspoons vanilla extract
1/4 teaspoon ground nutmeg
1 1/3 cups chilled whipping cream
Sauce
2 cups sweet Marsala
1/2 cup sugar
2 teaspoons grated lemon peel
1/8 teaspoon ground nutmeg
5 fresh strawberries, halved
*Amaretti are available at Italian markets and some supermarkets.

Steps:

  • For crust:
  • Preheat oven to 350°F. Finely grind amaretti cookies in processor (makes about 1 1/2 cups crumbs). With processor running, gradually add melted butter and process until crumbs begin to stick together. Press crust mixture onto bottom and up sides of 9-inch-diameter tart pan with removable bottom. Bake crust until pale golden, about 6 minutes. Cool. Gently press up bottom of pan just to loosen crust from sides (do not remove from pan). Place crust in freezer.
  • For filling:
  • Soak currants in 1/2 cup Marsala in small bowl for 1 hour.
  • Whisk remaining 1 cup Marsala, sugar and yolks in large metal bowl. Set bowl over saucepan of rapidly simmering water and whisk until candy thermometer inserted into mixture registers 170°F, about 4 minutes. Remove bowl from over water. Whisk in corn syrup, vanilla and nutmeg. Refrigerate zabaglione until cool, whisking occasionally, about 20 minutes.
  • Beat cream in bowl to stiff peaks. Add zabaglione and beat just until smooth. Drain currants and fold into zabaglione (reserve Marsala for another use). Place in freezer until slightly stiffened but not frozen, about 1 hour.
  • Spoon zabaglione cream into crust, mounding in center. Freeze until almost firm, about 2 hours. Cover and freeze until firm, at least 6 hours or overnight.
  • For sauce:
  • Stir Marsala and sugar in heavy medium saucepan over medium heat until sugar dissolves. Increase heat and boil until syrup is reduced to generous 2/3 cup, about 17 minutes. Add lemon peel and nutmeg and boil 1 minute. Cool slightly. (Can be prepared 8 hours ahead. Let stand at room temperature. Rewarm over low heat before serving.)
  • Remove tart from pan. Transfer tart to platter. Arrange strawberries around top edge of tart. Cut into wedges. Serve, passing warm sauce separately.

Tips:

  • Always use high-quality ingredients for the best flavor. This means using fresh espresso, heavy cream, and egg yolks.
  • Make sure to heat the espresso and cream mixture slowly over medium heat, stirring constantly.
  • Do not let the mixture boil, as this will cause the eggs to curdle.
  • When adding the egg yolks, whisk constantly until the mixture is thick and creamy.
  • If you want a smoother zabaglione, strain it through a fine-mesh sieve before serving.
  • Serve the zabaglione immediately, or chill it for later.
  • Garnish the zabaglione with grated chocolate, cocoa powder, or fresh berries.

Conclusion:

Frozen Espresso Zabaglione is a delicious and versatile dessert that can be enjoyed in many ways. It can be served as a standalone dessert, or it can be used as a topping for other desserts, such as cakes, pies, and ice cream. It can also be used as a filling for profiteroles or éclairs.
