Best 8 Rum Sabayon Recipes

SABAYON

Steps:

• Pour a few inches of water into a pan and bring to a boil. Reduce heat to medium-low to keep water at a simmer. Combine egg yolks, water, Marsala, and sugar in a large heat-proof bowl and set above the simmering water. Cook, whisking constantly with a balloon whisk, until sugar is dissolved and mixture starts to thicken, about 2 minutes.
• Continue cooking and whisking until sabayon is the texture of mousse and holds its shape, 15 to 20 minutes. Lift bowl occasionally to let steam escape and keep eggs from overcooking. Serve immediately.

SABAYON

Steps:

• Prepare a large ice bath, and set aside. Fill a medium saucepan with 2 inches water. Set over medium heat, and bring to simmer.
• In a large stainless-steel bowl, whisk together egg yolks, salt, and sugar until very pale. Add Muscat; whisk to combine.
• Place bowl over a pan of simmering water, and whisk until mixture has thickened and has tripled in volume, 8 to 10 minutes. Remove mixture from heat, and immediately transfer to ice bath. Whisk until chilled.
• In a large chilled bowl, whip cream until soft peaks form. Add lemon juice, and fold the whipped cream into the chilled sabayon. Serve immediately.

RUM SABAYON SAUCE

Steps:

• Whisk together all of the ingredients in a double boiler.
• Heat the sauce, whisking continuously, for about 5 minutes, just until it thickens (don't let it boil, or it will curdle!).
• Remove from the heat. Serve warm or chilled -- both ways are good!

RUM SABAYON

Steps:

• In a large metal bowl whisk together yolks, sugar, rum, and 1/4 cup cream. Set bowl over a saucepan of simmering water and cook mixture, whisking constantly, until frothy and whisk leaves distinct marks. Set bowl in a larger bowl of ice and cold water and cool sauce, stirring gently with a rubber spatula, until cold. In a bowl with an electric mixer beat remaining 3/4 cup cream until it just holds stiff peaks and fold into sauce gently but thoroughly. Sabayon may be made 1 day ahead and chilled, covered.

COFFEE SABAYON

Steps:

• Steep instant espresso in boiling water and cool to room temperature. Mix with 4 egg yolks, and sugar and set in the top of a double boiler. Beat with an electric beater until mixture is thick and fluffy. Beating constantly, pour the rum into the egg yolk mixture in a slow thin stream and continue beating until mixture almost triples in volume; this may take 10 minutes or so.
• To serve, spoon mixture into balloon wine glasses or goblets, or chill for 30 minutes and serve as a sauce over ladyfingers or angel food cake.

CLASSIC SABAYON AND ZABAGLIONE

Steps:

• In a zabaglione pan (or a metal bowl or round-bottomed double boiler), whisk together the yolks and sugar until lighter in color; then stir in the wine.
• Se the pan or bowl over a smaller pan of simmering water, and whisk until the mixture swells and thickens into a stable foam; it is ready when the wires of the whisk start leaving light traces between strokes. The water in the lower pan should be actively simmering but not boiling violently, and should not touch the bottom of the upper pan. There's no need to beat hard; just use a gentle back-and-forth wrist motion, getting all over the pan so the mixture doesn't overcook on the bottom and sides. Don't cook past the "light traces" stage, or the sabayon may lose volume and become dense instead of airy.
• Off heat, whisk in the Grand Marnier (or rum, kirsch, or whatever). Serve immediately.
• For an Italian zabaglione, reduce the sugar to 1/4 cup, and use 1/2 cup of dry Marsala.

LIME SABAYON

Steps:

• Prepare an ice-water bath. Whisk yolks and sugar in a large metal bowl. Set over a large pot of simmering water, and slowly whisk in Midori. Continue to whisk until thick and doubled in volume, about 6 minutes. Set bowl in ice-water bath, and let cool, stirring occasionally, for 10 minutes.
• Whisk the cream in a medium bowl until soft peaks form. Whisk in creme fraiche and lime zest. Gently stir cream mixture into yolk mixture. Use immediately (or cover, and refrigerate for up to 2 hours).

SABAYON WITH STRAWBERRIES

Steps:

• Preparing the strawberries:
• About an hour before serving the dessert, rinse the strawberries (stems on) and drain them on paper towels. Slice off the stems and halve or quarter the strawberries lengthwise, depending on size, into a bowl. Sprinkle over the sugar and the lemon juice; fold gently together to blend well. Taste a strawberry, add more sugar or lemon juice if needed, and set aside to macerate.
• Whipping the sabayon:
• If you want to serve the sabayon warm, make it at the last minute. If you want to glaze the sabayon under the broiler, or make it ahead of time to serve chilled, have ready a large bowl (larger than the one in which you whip the sauce) partly filled with ice cubes.
• Whisk to blend the yolks, Marsala, and sugar in the stainless-steel bowl. Rest the bowl in the saucepan over hot water. Whisk constantly for 4 to 5 minutes or more to cook the sauce, until it has the consistency of lightly whipped cream. Clear the bottom of the bowl constantly with the whisk so that the eggs do not scramble, and adjust the heat as needed. Taste the sauce - the sabayon should never get so hot that you can't stick your very clean finger in it - and whisk drops of lemon juice or more sugar if you want. When thick, foamy, and tripled in volume, remove from heat. It can be served hot as is, tepid, or cool.
• Serving:
• Spoon a portion of strawberries - 1/2 cup or more - into each goblet or glass, and top with 1/3 to 1/2 cup of warm or cool sabayon. Or put the sauce in the glass first, then the strawberries.
• Variation: Strawberries Glazed with Sabayon
• Cool the sabayon to room temperature. Whip the cream and sugar until soft peaks form, and fold the cream into the sabayon with a rubber spatula.
• Turn on the broiler. Spread the strawberries in the baking dish in one layer (or in individual dishes). Spoon the sauce over the berries so they are completely covered and set the dish under the broiler, 5 to 6 inches from the heat. With the door open - so you can watch carefully - broil for a minute or two, turning the dish as needed to glaze evenly, until the top of the sabayon is nicely browned and slightly crusted. Serve right away.
