Spring Up Your Tastebuds with Grapefruit Zabaglione

Even though WINTER is still fighting to be heard where I live, I can't help but to dream of SPRING and all the delicious warmth that comes with it. So I decided to dig out an older recipe that always has me thinking WARM tangy thoughts...

GRAPEFRUIT ZABAGLIONE!

{a light, sweet Italian caudle}

I usually make it to serve over FRESH mixed berries, but the local produce section was lacking {so I used fresh blueberries and frozen strawberries, raspberries, and blackberries}.

This is a very simple and quick recipe that you can make in less than TEN minutes and is great for a breakfast, brunch, or a light dessert {We just happened to have it for breakfast this morning}.

GRAPEFUIT ZABAGLIONE W/ MIXED BERRIES

Ingredients:

• 3 cups mix of strawberries, blueberries, raspberries, & blackberries
• {fresh is best, but you can use frozen defrosted}
• 4 egg yolks
• 1/3 cup sugar
• 1/4 cup fresh grapefruit juice{1/2 a grapefruit will do it}
• Pinch of kosher salt
• Grated grapefruit zest

 

Directions:

• In a large bowl, toss the berries together.
• Spoon the berries into 4-6 serving bowls and set aside.
• Combine egg yolks, sugar, grapefruit juice, & salt in metal bowl. {I used a 2 quart metal mixing bowl}
• Whisk until color is a pale yellow.
• Set the bowl on top of a saucepan of simmering water (do NOT let the bottom of the bowl touch the water!)
• Using an electric hand mixer, mix 4-5 minutes until the mix has tripled in volume & is very thick and creamy.  {you could do it yourself, but its a lot of mixing}
• Spoon the warm zabaglione over the berries.
• Top with grated grapefruit zest.
• Serve immediately.

{Enjoy!}
