Ingredients

  • 4 large egg yolks
  • ¾ cup granulated sugar
  • ¾ cup dry white wine

Instructions

    Cup of Yum
  1. Separate the egg yolks from the egg whites and add the yolks to a large metal bowl. You can use the egg whites in an omelette or for meringue.
  2. Whisk the egg yolks vigorously for 1 to 2 minutes or until they become foamy.
  3. Next, whisk in the sugar and wine until incorporated.
  4. Place the bowl over a double boiler on medium heat and vigorously whisk until it becomes very thick, which takes about 4 to 5 minutes.
  5. Immediately serve the warm sauce over top fresh berries.

Notes

  • Make-Ahead: For freshness, this is meant to be served immediately. However, you can make this and keep it covered for up to 30 minutes before serving.
  • How to Store:  Store this covered in the refrigerator for 2 days. This will not freeze well.
  • How to Reheat: It is best to serve this cold as reheating it will cause it to break.
  • A double boiler is where a bowl or a fitted pot is placed on another pot a quarter filled with simmering water. This technique gently heat sensitive foods like custards or sauces so that the eggs don’t scramble. It is also good for heating chocolate.
  • You can use electric hand beaters if you’d like.
  • I always know the sauce is done when I can make a figure 8 out of it, and it briefly holds the number shape before dissolving into the sabayon.
  • Dissolve ¼ teaspoons of gelatin into the wine if you want to serve this cold. Cook the recipe presented here, then chill the sabayon until cold.
