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...
{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!}
