Rum Sabayon Recipes

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.

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!

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.
