Peaches With Zabaglione image

You will need fresh peaches for this dish, which requires a bit of finesse. Zabaglione is a traditional egg custard flavored with musky sweet Marsala wine. Other sweet wines may also be used, like sherry or spumante. It takes just a few minutes to make, whisking over a double boiler. Zabaglione can be served hot, but in summer it is better cool. The faint butterscotch caramel-y flavor seems custom-made to accompany peaches.

Time 30m

Yield 4 to 6 servings

Number Of Ingredients 7

6 egg yolks
6 tablespoons sugar
1/2 cup dry Marsala wine
1/2 cup dry white wine
4 large peaches
1/4 cup raspberries, for garnish (optional)
Raspberry purée, see note (optional)

Steps:

  • Make the zabaglione: In a double boiler or a bowl set over rapidly simmering water, whisk egg yolks and sugar together. Add Marsala and white wine and whisk well until mixture is warm and beginning to thicken, about 2 minutes.
  • Continue to whisk vigorously as mixture increases in volume, until it is the consistency of lightly whipped cream, 2 minutes more. Take care that the eggs do not overcook and become curdled.
  • Pour zabaglione into 4 to 6 wide-mouthed wineglasses or coupes and let cool to room temperature, then cover and refrigerate. Peel peaches and cut into 1/2-inch wedges. Cover with plastic wrap and refrigerate until chilled.
  • To serve, top each glass with sliced peaches, dividing them evenly. If desired, garnish with raspberries and drizzle with about a tablespoon of raspberry purée.
