Peaches With Zabaglione Recipes

PEACHES WITH ZABAGLIONE

Steps:

• Make the zabaglione: In a double boiler or a bowl set over rapidly simmering water, whisk egg yolks and sugar together. Add Marsala and white wine and whisk well until mixture is warm and beginning to thicken, about 2 minutes.
• Continue to whisk vigorously as mixture increases in volume, until it is the consistency of lightly whipped cream, 2 minutes more. Take care that the eggs do not overcook and become curdled.
• Pour zabaglione into 4 to 6 wide-mouthed wineglasses or coupes and let cool to room temperature, then cover and refrigerate. Peel peaches and cut into 1/2-inch wedges. Cover with plastic wrap and refrigerate until chilled.
• To serve, top each glass with sliced peaches, dividing them evenly. If desired, garnish with raspberries and drizzle with about a tablespoon of raspberry purée.

FRESH PEACHES AND ZABAGLIONE

Steps:

• Combine the yolks, sugar and wine in a stainless steel bowl. Whisk the ingredients together to create a smooth texture. Set the bowl over a pot of simmering water on the stove (being careful of the hot water in the pot) and continue to whisk in long strokes so that the egg mixture rides high up the side of the bowl. Continue to whisk air into the eggs, all the while over the pot of hot water, for 5 to 7 minutes or until the mixture is triple in volume. When the eggs have increased in volume and thickened serve with fresh fruit and pound cake.;

ZABAGLIONE WITH FRESH PEACHES AND RASPBERRIES

Steps:

• Bring a medium pot of water to a boil. Prepare an ice-water bath. Place peaches in boiling water and cook 10 seconds. Drain, and immediately transfer peaches to ice-water bath. Remove peels using your fingers or a paring knife. Slice peaches in half and remove pit; set aside.
• In a heatproof bowl set over (but not touching) simmering water, add egg yolks, Marsala, and sugar. Beat until mixture is creamy and thick, about 4 minutes. Remove from heat.
• Divide peach halves evenly between 4 plates. Fill peach halves with berries and spoon over zabaglione. Serve immediately.

STRAWBERRIES AND PEACHES WITH BALSAMIC ZABAGLIONE

Steps:

• 1. To make the zabaglione: In a medium bowl, whip the heavy cream to stiff peaks. Cover and refrigerate.
• 2. In a stainless-steel bowl, whisk the egg yolks with the sugar, vin santo, and balsamic vinegar. Place the bowl over a saucepan of simmering water or transfer to the top of a double boiler and whisk vigorously, using a balloon whisk. Continue whisking over the simmering water until the mixture is thick and foamy. Remove the bowl from the heat and continue whisking until the zabaglione is completely cool. Gently fold the zabaglione into the whipped cream and chill for 30 minutes.
• 3. While the zabaglione is chilling, place the strawberries and peaches in a large bowl. In a small saucepan, combine the vin santo, honey, and sugar and bring to a boil. Stir to completely dissolve the sugar, then cook the mixture until reduced slightly. Pour the hot syrup over the fruit and toss to coat. Spoon the fruit into dessert dishes or wine glasses and top with a dollop of the zabaglione.

VANILLA-POACHED APRICOTS WITH ZABAGLIONE

Steps:

• Poach apricots:
• Scrape seeds from vanilla bean into a 2-quart saucepan, then add pod, water, sugar, zest, and salt. Bring to a boil, uncovered, over high heat, then boil 1 minute.
• Carefully add apricots, then reduce heat and poach at a bare simmer, turning over once, until fruit is tender but still holds its shape and skins are still intact, 2 to 6 minutes. Transfer apricots and syrup to a large shallow bowl and cool to room temperature, about 1 1/2 hours.
• Make zabaglione:
• Beat together yolks, sugar, and wine in a deep 4-quart metal bowl with a handheld electric mixer at medium speed or whisk vigorously until combined well.
• Set bowl over a 4-quart pot of barely simmering water and beat mixture until tripled in volume, 5 to 6 minutes.
• To serve:
• Spoon 2 or 3 apricot halves into each of 6 glasses and top with zabaglione. Serve immediately.

GRILLED PEACHES WITH CHILLED SABAYON

Steps:

• Heat grill or grill pan. Prepare an ice bath; set aside. Make the sabayon: Combine yolks, sugar, champagne, and liqueur, if using, in a large metal bowl set over a large pan of simmering water. Whisk until mixture is very thick and has expanded in volume, about 7 minutes. Place bowl in ice bath; let cool completely.
• Place cream in a large bowl, and beat until stiff peaks form. Fold whipped cream into egg-yolk mixture. Cover with plastic wrap, and place in refrigerator at least 20 minutes.
• Line grill or pan with heavy-duty foil. Brush peaches with butter; sprinkle with brown sugar. Grill cut side down until peaches are tender and sugar is caramelized, 6 to 7 minutes. Divide sabayon among four dishes, and top each with a peach half. Serve.
