Best 5 Frozen Zabaglione Recipes

FROZEN ZABAGLIONE

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.
• Transfer into an airtight container, cover the top with plastic wrap, and seal. Place in a freezer until firm, at least 4 hours, or up to overnight.

FROZEN ITALIAN ZABAGLIONE TART WITH MARSALA-LEMON SAUCE

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.

• Combine 8 egg yolks, sugar, Grand Marnier and orange juice concentrate in large bowl. Using electric mixer, beat yolk mixture 1 minute. Set bowl over large saucepan of simmering water and beat yolk mixture at high speed until very thick and thermometer registers 160°F, about 12 minutes.
• Place bowl over larger bowl filled with ice and water and cool zabaglione, whisking occasionally, about 15 minutes. Fold in 3/4 cup raspberry puree. Transfer to covered container and freeze. (Can be prepared 2 days ahead.)
• For Sauce:
• Stir chopped chocolate, corn syrup, 1 tablespoon water and 1/2 cup plus 3 tablespoons raspberry puree in heavy medium saucepan over low heat until chocolate melts and sauce is smooth. Cover and refrigerate. (Can be made 2 days ahead.)
• For Meringues:
• Preheat oven to 200°F. Line large baking sheet with foil; grease foil lightly. Using electric mixer, beat 3 egg whites and 1/4 teaspoon cream of tartar in large bowl until soft peaks form. Gradually add sugar, beating until meringue is stiff and shiny. Fold in half of toasted almonds.
• Drop meringue in 8 mounds onto prepared sheet. using back of spoon, make indentation in each mound. Sprinkle meringues with remaining toasted almonds. Bake 1 hour. Turn off oven, leave oven door closed and let meringues dry in oven overnight.
• Place meringues on platter and fill each with large scoop of zabaglione. Wrap meringues tightly and freeze at least 8 hours and up to 1 day.
• Rewarm chocolate sauce over low heat. Place each filled meringue on plate. Spoon warm chocolate sauce over and serve immediately.

PRALINE BASKETS WITH FROZEN ALMOND ZABAGLIONE

Steps:

• Prepare the praline baskets and set aside.
• Use a heavy, deep, preferably round-bottom mixing bowl to prepare this dessert.
• Put the yolks in the bowl and add the sugar and water. Set the bowl in a basin of simmering water or over a very low flame and beat as vigorously as possible with a wire whisk. Beat until the mixture is quite foamy and thickened. Immediately beat in the almond- or hazelnut-flavored liqueur.
• Place the bowl in a basin of cold water containing ice and continue beating until cool.
• Whip the cream until stiff. Add one-third of the whipped cream to the sauce and beat it in. Fold in the remaining cream. Spoon the mixture into a metal or glass dish and place in the freezer. Let stand until frozen. Scoop equal portions of the zabaglione into the praline baskets and serve.

FROZEN ESPRESSO ZABAGLIONE

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.
