Yield Makes 6 servings

Number Of Ingredients 6

3 grapefruits
2 whole large eggs
2 large egg yolks
3/4 cup sugar
1/2 cup fresh lemon juice
2 tablespoons cold unsalted butter, cut in half

Steps:

  • Cut peel, including all white pith, from grapefruits with a sharp knife. Cut segments free from membranes and divide among 6 bowls.
  • Whisk together whole eggs, yolks, and sugar in a metal bowl until combined well, 1 to 2 minutes. Set bowl over a saucepan of simmering water and whisk until foamy, about 2 minutes. Add one third of lemon juice and whisk until thickened, about 1 minute. Add half of remaining lemon juice and whisk until thickened, about 1 minute. Repeat with remaining lemon juice. Continue cooking, whisking constantly, until thickened and an instant-read thermometer registers 170°F, 7 to 8 minutes more. Remove from heat and whisk in butter, 1 piece at a time, until incorporated. Cool slightly.
  • Spoon warm sabayon over grapefruit segments. Serve remaining sabayon on the side.

Tips:

  • For a richer flavor, use fresh grapefruit juice instead of bottled.
  • If you don't have a double boiler, you can make a makeshift one by placing a heatproof bowl over a saucepan of simmering water.
  • Make sure the butter and eggs are at room temperature before you start cooking. This will help them emulsify smoothly.
  • Don't overcook the sabayon. It should be thick and creamy, but not scrambled.
  • If you're using a non-stick pan, make sure to grease it lightly before cooking the cakes.
  • Serve the cakes immediately, while they're still warm and fluffy.

Conclusion:

These grapefruit sabayon cakes are a delicious and easy-to-make treat. They're perfect for breakfast, brunch, or dessert.
