Lemon Zabaglione

Ingredients

Makes about 6 cups

2 large eggs
4 large egg yolks
1/2 cup sugar
Grated zest of 2 lemons
Juice of 1 lemon
1/3杯马斯喀特或其他甜点酒
  1. Step 1

    Combine all the ingredients in a stainless steel bowl and set aside.

    Step 2

    Choose a saucepan large enough to set the bowl over and fill it with 2 inches of water. Bring to a simmer.

    Step 3

    Whisk the egg mixture in the bowl. Place the bowl over the simmering water and whisk vigorously until it is about triple in volume and thick and frothy. Lift the bowl off the steam a few times, while whisking, to insure that the mixture does not get too hot and scramble the eggs. The total cooking time will be about 8 minutes. Remove the bowl from the heat and whisk to cool slightly. Serve now, or cover with plastic wrap pressed directly onto the surface and use within 2 hours. It may need to be whisked again just before serving.

  • I make a very similar lemon zap. What I suggest is to separate out the egg whites and whip them. Then fold into the cooked pudding at the end. Makes it lighter and stiffer. (I use 3 egg yolks and then whip 3 egg whites)...

  • This was wonderful with grilled peaches. 8 minutes cooking time is right. I kept whisking and would take it off the boiler and keep whisking. I would keep if off the boiler from 1/3rd to about half the time.

  • I've made this twice and have found it easy and pretty quick making a great treat. It can be devoured in many ways, my favorite being over berrys.

  • The best Zabaglione I have ever made or eaten. I did not have the suggested wine and so I used my used available Chardonnay - it is abosolutely wonderful - the taste and texture are exceptional. This is a "keeper" in my recipe file. NancyR

  • I was grilling some peaches and realized that we had no vanilla ice cream to go with it, so I whipped this up using orange instead of lemon and using Splenda instead of sugar. It came out great and my wife and daughter were pleased. The Muscat wine was a touch that I would never have considered before. There was some leftover, so I refrigerated it to go over some berries tonight. :)
