Fondant Sabayon Praline Recipes

SABAYON

Steps:

• Prepare a large ice bath, and set aside. Fill a medium saucepan with 2 inches water. Set over medium heat, and bring to simmer.
• In a large stainless-steel bowl, whisk together egg yolks, salt, and sugar until very pale. Add Muscat; whisk to combine.
• Place bowl over a pan of simmering water, and whisk until mixture has thickened and has tripled in volume, 8 to 10 minutes. Remove mixture from heat, and immediately transfer to ice bath. Whisk until chilled.
• In a large chilled bowl, whip cream until soft peaks form. Add lemon juice, and fold the whipped cream into the chilled sabayon. Serve immediately.

BERRY SABAYON GRATINEE

Steps:

• In a large glass bowl, whisk together the egg yolks and sugar. Split the vanilla bean in half lengthwise and scrape the seeds with the back side of a pairing knife. Add vanilla bean seeds to the egg yolk mixture and whisk to combine. Add wine, a little at a time, and whisk to combine. Add a pinch of salt and whisk again.
• Set bowl over a pan of simmering water and whisk vigorously and constantly until the sauce is thick and fluffy, about 10 minutes.
• Preheat the broiler.
• Place 1/2 cup berries in the bottom of 6 shallow individual gratin dishes or ovenproof bowls. Spoon an even amount of the sabayon over each dish. Sprinkle the remaining berries evenly over the dishes. Place the dishes on a sheet pan and place on the top shelf of the oven under the broiler. Broil until the sabayon is golden brown, about 1 to 2 minutes. Sprinkle with powdered sugar and serve immediately.

FONDANT SABAYON PRALINE

Steps:

• Fondant. Whisk eggs and sugar, melt chocolate and butter in bain marie with a tiny pinch of salt. Whisk eggs and sugar until pale and fluffy, in machine or by hand fold flour into eggs, once chocolate has melted, fold a small amount into eggs to temp it, then fold in 1/3 at a time. Grease molds by brushing upwards with butter then place coco powder on bottom and sides and turn in your hand letting it cover the whole of the mold, then tip out any excess. Divide evenly into molds then place in fridge while you make praline and sabayon. Preheat oven to 180c
• For Sabayon. Put pistachio paste in water (only if grainy) then pass through shinwa. If you have a smooth paste only use 60ml of water. Whisk eggs and sugar in bain marie for 1 minute add pistachio paste and water whisk on a medium/low heat, until it is very thick but still smooth, this may take 15 minutes or so, but you must constantly whisk. You may have numb arm afterwards as I did when I made it many times. once it is at sabayon stage remove from heat put into new bowl, whip cream until soft peaks then fold into sabayon in 1/3 batches followed by pistachios or almonds if you want to, I prefer to have it smooth but it is up too you, place in piping bag or bowl and place in fridge to thicken more.
• To make the praline place sugar into a heavy bottom pan followed by water, try not to move it around too much otherwise it will crystalise, place on a low heat to start letting the sugar and water come together, in the mean time either use a patisserie mat or baking paper, lay on flat tray ready, chop almonds. when sugar and water have come together put on high heat Brushing the sides with a pastry brush and water if it starts to crystalise. once it has reached a caramel consistency, remove from heat and pistachios quick then lay on your mat evenly spread, you must do this quickly otherwise the caramel will set in the pan and I would feel sorry for the person who has to wash up.
• Finally take fondants from fridge they should be set by now and place in oven, I like to place on top shelf as I like them to souffle a little, but it has the risk of overcooking the outside and being too undercooked in the middle, therefore the middle shelf is fine, back for around 10-15 minutes. The should be crisp and cooked yet still gooey in the middle,to remove get a small straight knife and run it around the outside of the fondant, then place a plate on fondant and flip, if they do not come out give a little tap on the bottom, dust with coco powder and serve fondant on top of sabayon and praline scattered around the plate.
• Bon appetit

PECAN PRALINES

Steps:

• Generously butter baking sheets.
• In a large saucepan over medium heat, combine brown sugar, white sugar, water and butter. Bring to a rapid boil and stir in pecans. Continue to cook and stir until large bubbles form on the surface, pecans begin to look sugary and mixture just begins to color. Remove from heat and drop by rounded spoonfuls onto prepared sheets. Let cool completely.

EASY FRESH FRUIT SABAYON

Steps:

• In metal mixing bowl, whisk together all except the berries.
• Pour into double boiler or over simmering water in a saucepan if you don't have one.
• Whisk the sabayon (that's what it is now!) continuously until thick which takes about 5 minutes.
• This should look a lot like softly whipped cream and easily coat the back of a spoon.
• Divide berries among 4 serving dishes.
• Large wine glasses work well.
• Equally pour the sabayon over the berries.
• ENJOY!

SABAYON WITH STRAWBERRIES

Steps:

• Preparing the strawberries:
• About an hour before serving the dessert, rinse the strawberries (stems on) and drain them on paper towels. Slice off the stems and halve or quarter the strawberries lengthwise, depending on size, into a bowl. Sprinkle over the sugar and the lemon juice; fold gently together to blend well. Taste a strawberry, add more sugar or lemon juice if needed, and set aside to macerate.
• Whipping the sabayon:
• If you want to serve the sabayon warm, make it at the last minute. If you want to glaze the sabayon under the broiler, or make it ahead of time to serve chilled, have ready a large bowl (larger than the one in which you whip the sauce) partly filled with ice cubes.
• Whisk to blend the yolks, Marsala, and sugar in the stainless-steel bowl. Rest the bowl in the saucepan over hot water. Whisk constantly for 4 to 5 minutes or more to cook the sauce, until it has the consistency of lightly whipped cream. Clear the bottom of the bowl constantly with the whisk so that the eggs do not scramble, and adjust the heat as needed. Taste the sauce - the sabayon should never get so hot that you can't stick your very clean finger in it - and whisk drops of lemon juice or more sugar if you want. When thick, foamy, and tripled in volume, remove from heat. It can be served hot as is, tepid, or cool.
• Serving:
• Spoon a portion of strawberries - 1/2 cup or more - into each goblet or glass, and top with 1/3 to 1/2 cup of warm or cool sabayon. Or put the sauce in the glass first, then the strawberries.
• Variation: Strawberries Glazed with Sabayon
• Cool the sabayon to room temperature. Whip the cream and sugar until soft peaks form, and fold the cream into the sabayon with a rubber spatula.
• Turn on the broiler. Spread the strawberries in the baking dish in one layer (or in individual dishes). Spoon the sauce over the berries so they are completely covered and set the dish under the broiler, 5 to 6 inches from the heat. With the door open - so you can watch carefully - broil for a minute or two, turning the dish as needed to glaze evenly, until the top of the sabayon is nicely browned and slightly crusted. Serve right away.

PRALINE CAKE

Steps:

• Prepare and bake cake mix according to package directions for a 9x13 inch pan. When done, allow cake to cool and leave in pan. Preheat oven to 400 degrees F (200 degrees C).
• In a large saucepan, combine brown sugar, flour, butter and egg. Cook over low heat for 3 minutes, or until thickened. Remove from heat and stir in pecans and vanilla. Spread over cake. Place in preheated oven for 8 to 10 minutes.

PRALINES II

Steps:

• Lightly grease the inside of a 4-quart saucepan. Line a baking sheet with waxed paper.
• Stir the brown sugar, white sugar, baking soda, sour cream, and corn syrup together in the oiled pan; place over low heat. Cook and stir continually until the sugars are dissolved. Wipe any sugar crystals above the liquid line with a pastry brush moistened with cold water. Bring to a boil over medium-high heat. Do not stir once the sugar syrup begins to boil. Heat to 240 degrees F (115 degrees C), or until a small amount of syrup dropped into cold water forms a soft ball that flattens when removed from the water and placed on a flat surface. Remove from heat; stir in the butter, vanilla, and chopped pecans.
• Drop spoonfuls of the mixture 2 inches apart onto the prepared baking sheets. Press a pecan half into the top of each praline. Allow to cool completely. Store in an airtight container in a cool place.
