Amaretto Zabaglione Recipes

Steps:

• Place the egg yolks, sugar, and Marsala wine in a large heat-proof glass bowl and whisk them together. Place the bowl on a pan of simmering water to make a double boiler and whisk the mixture almost constantly for 5 to 7 minutes, until it expands in volume and becomes thickened. You'll see the froth disappear and the whisk will leave a little trail in the mixture. Don't walk away from it or you¿ll end up with scrambled eggs! Off the heat, whisk in the vanilla and almond extracts. Set aside for 30 minutes to cool to room temperature, whisking once or twice as it cools.
• Place the cream in the bowl of an electric mixer fitted with the whisk attachment (you can also use a hand mixer) and beat it just until it forms firm peaks. With a rubber spatula, carefully fold the cream into the Marsala mixture. Spoon half of the mixture into each of 4 or 5 decorative glasses (depending on the size), sprinkle each with 1 tablespoon of crushed Amaretti, and spoon the rest of the mixture on top. Sprinkle with the remaining Amaretti crumbs, cover with plastic wrap, and chill for a few hours or overnight. Serve cold.

Steps:

• Whisk egg yolks, amaretto, and sugar in medium metal bowl to blend. Set bowl over saucepan of simmering water. Whisk mixture constantly and vigorously until thickened and instant-read thermometer inserted into mixture registers 140°F for 3 minutes, about 5 minutes total. Remove mixture from over water. Add cream and whisk until incorporated. Serve warm or chilled.
• (If serving chilled, zabaglione can be prepared 1 day ahead and refrigerated. Rewhisk before serving.)

Steps:

• Whisk egg yolks, amaretto, and sugar in medium metal bowl to blend.
• Set bowl over saucepan of simmering water (double boiler).
• Whisk mixture constantly and vigorously until thickened and instant-read thermometer inserted into mixture registers 140 for 3 minutes, about 5 minutes total.
• Remove mixture from over water.
• Add cream and whisk until incorporated.
• Pour or spoon into individual serving glasses/bowls.
• Serve warm or chilled. (If serving chilled, zabaglione can be prepared 1 day ahead and refrigerated. Rewhisk before serving.)
• Also if serving chilled, let the zabaglione cool before placing fresh fruit on top.

Steps:

• Bring 1-inch of water to a boil in a 4-quart saucepan set over high heat.
• Add the egg yolks and sugar to a large glass bowl. Using an electric hand mixer on the highest speed, beat the eggs and sugar until the mixture is thick, pale yellow, and the sugar is completely dissolved, 4 to 5 minutes. Decrease the mixer speed to low and add the Marsala and salt.
• Decrease the heat to maintain a simmer and put the bowl atop the saucepan with the boiling water, making sure the bottom of the bowl is not touching the water. Beat the mixture on medium speed, until it is thick, frothy, holds a ribbon, and the temperature reaches 145 to 150 degrees F, on an instant-read thermometer.
• Spoon the warm mixture into custard cups or serving glasses and serve immediately or allow to cool slightly. Serve with fresh berries, if desired.

Steps:

• Arrange bread cubes in single layer on rimmed baking sheet. Let stand at room temperature to dry overnight.
• Butter 13x9x2-inch glass baking dish. Transfer bread cubes to prepared dish. Mix dates and almonds in medium bowl. Sprinkle date mixture over bread and toss to distribute evenly. Using electric mixer, beat eggs and egg yolks in large bowl until frothy. Add 1 cup sugar and beat until mixture thickens and is pale yellow, about 5 minutes. Add half and half, vanilla, and nutmeg; beat just until blended. (Bread mixture and custard can be prepared 2 hours ahead. Let bread mixture stand uncovered at room temperature. Chill custard; rewhisk before continuing.).
• Preheat oven to 375°F Pour custard over bread mixture, then press lightly on bread with rubber spatula to submerge. Let stand 15 minutes, occasionally pressing lightly on bread to submerge.
• Bake bread pudding 25 minutes. Using large spoon, press bread down, allowing custard in dish to rise to surface. Spoon custard evenly over bread mixture. Continue to bake pudding until knife inserted into center of custard comes out clean, about 20 minutes longer.
• Whisk egg yolks, amaretto, and sugar in medium metal bowl to blend. Set bowl over saucepan of simmering water. Whisk mixture constantly and vigorously until thickened and instant-read thermometer inserted into mixture registers 140°F for 3 minutes, about 5 minutes total. Remove mixture from over water. Add cream and whisk until incorporated. Serve warm or chilled.

Steps:

• Follow directions on pudding box for making the pudding. Add whipped topping and almond extract to pudding and beat a few minutes. Put half of mixture, divided in to four bowls. Mix sliced strawberries with sugar and divide between the 4 bowls. Add the remaining pudding over strawberries and sprinkle with nutmeg. Chill.

Steps:

• Prepare the strawberries: In a bowl, toss the strawberries with the sugar and the rum and let macerate 20 minutes.
• Divide among 4 goblets and sprinkle each serving with 1 tblsp of crushed amaretti.
• Make zabaglione: In a large, heatproof bowl, beat yolks with sugar until thick and pale, about 8 minutes.
• Set bowl over a pan of simmering water, ensuring that bowl is not actually on the surface of the water, and beat with mixer for 1 minute.
• Add wine and rum in a slow, steady stream, beating constantly, and beat mixture at high speed for 6-10 minutes, or until it is very light and thickened and beater leaves a pattern in its wake.
• Remove bowl from pan and beat 1 minute longer.
• Spoon zabaglione into goblets and sprinkle with remaining amaretti.
• Serve immediately.

Steps:

• For zabaglione:
• Whisk Champagne, sugar, yolks and corn syrup in large metal bowl to blend. Set bowl over saucepan of simmering water (do not allow bottom of bowl to touch water). Whisk constantly until mixture has tripled in volume and candy thermometer registers 160°F., about 10 minutes. Remove from over water. Using electric mixer, beat zabaglione until completely cool, about 5 minutes.
• Beat cream to soft peaks in medium bowl. Fold cream into cooled zabaglione. Chill until ready to use. (Can be prepared 1 day ahead. Cover and keep refrigerated. Stir lightly to lessen texture before serving.)
• For fruit compote:
• Using small sharp knife, cut off peel and white pith from oranges. Working over bowl, cut between membranes to release orange segments. (Oranges can be prepared 6 hours ahead. Cover; refrigerate.)
• Using tip of vegetable peeler, cut out eyes from pineapple; discard eyes. Dice pineapple. Combine pineapple, quartered strawberries, kiwis and pear in large bowl. Mix in oranges.
• Spoon fruit into 6 stemmed glasses. Pour 1 tablespoon Champagne over fruit in each goblet. Top fruit with zabaglione. Garnish each serving with whole strawberry and serve immediately.
