If you like regular zabaglione, you're going to absolutely love the frozen version. Above and beyond the flavor, you're going to see what might be the best way to make ice cream without an ice cream maker. Quite often, frozen desserts that aren't made with a machine can have a weird, icy, crystallized texture, but not here. This stuff is incredibly smooth and creamy. Serve with fresh fruit.

Time 4h40m

Yield 6

Number Of Ingredients 5

6 large egg yolks
1 pinch salt
½ cup white sugar
⅔ cup dry Marsala wine
1 cup cold heavy cream

Steps:

Yield Serves 8

Number Of Ingredients 19

Crust
1 5.5-ounce package amaretti cookies (Italian macaroons)*
5 tablespoons unsalted butter, melted, hot
Filling
1/2 cup dried currants
1 1/2 cups sweet Marsala
3/4 cup sugar
10 large egg yolks
2 tablespoons dark corn syrup
2 teaspoons vanilla extract
1/4 teaspoon ground nutmeg
1 1/3 cups chilled whipping cream
Sauce
2 cups sweet Marsala
1/2 cup sugar
2 teaspoons grated lemon peel
1/8 teaspoon ground nutmeg
5 fresh strawberries, halved
*Amaretti are available at Italian markets and some supermarkets.

Steps:

  • For crust:
  • Preheat oven to 350°F. Finely grind amaretti cookies in processor (makes about 1 1/2 cups crumbs). With processor running, gradually add melted butter and process until crumbs begin to stick together. Press crust mixture onto bottom and up sides of 9-inch-diameter tart pan with removable bottom. Bake crust until pale golden, about 6 minutes. Cool. Gently press up bottom of pan just to loosen crust from sides (do not remove from pan). Place crust in freezer.
  • For filling:
  • Soak currants in 1/2 cup Marsala in small bowl for 1 hour.
  • Whisk remaining 1 cup Marsala, sugar and yolks in large metal bowl. Set bowl over saucepan of rapidly simmering water and whisk until candy thermometer inserted into mixture registers 170°F, about 4 minutes. Remove bowl from over water. Whisk in corn syrup, vanilla and nutmeg. Refrigerate zabaglione until cool, whisking occasionally, about 20 minutes.
  • Beat cream in bowl to stiff peaks. Add zabaglione and beat just until smooth. Drain currants and fold into zabaglione (reserve Marsala for another use). Place in freezer until slightly stiffened but not frozen, about 1 hour.
  • Spoon zabaglione cream into crust, mounding in center. Freeze until almost firm, about 2 hours. Cover and freeze until firm, at least 6 hours or overnight.
  • For sauce:
  • Stir Marsala and sugar in heavy medium saucepan over medium heat until sugar dissolves. Increase heat and boil until syrup is reduced to generous 2/3 cup, about 17 minutes. Add lemon peel and nutmeg and boil 1 minute. Cool slightly. (Can be prepared 8 hours ahead. Let stand at room temperature. Rewarm over low heat before serving.)
  • Remove tart from pan. Transfer tart to platter. Arrange strawberries around top edge of tart. Cut into wedges. Serve, passing warm sauce separately.

FROZEN ESPRESSO ZABAGLIONE



Frozen Espresso Zabaglione image

Zabaglione (or Zabaione) is a classic Italian dessert custard, but is basically nothing more than egg yolks whipped with sugar, usually served warm or at room temperature. It is typically flavored with sweet Marsala wine, which has a caramel-like flavor, but other wines or liqueurs may be substituted for variation. In this version, espresso coffee and Cognac are used, and the zabaglione is frozen for several hours or overnight. It's an easy way to make gelato at home, with a light airy texture.

Time 15m

Yield 6 servings

Number Of Ingredients 5

6 egg yolks
6 tablespoons sugar
3/4 cup espresso
2 tablespoons Cognac
Cocoa powder and powdered sugar, for serving (optional)

Steps:

  • Put egg yolks in a medium-size mixing bowl. Add sugar and whisk together for a minute, until frothy. Whisk in espresso and Cognac, then place bowl over double boiler. (For a makeshift double boiler, put 3 inches of water in a saucepan approximately the same size as bowl. Put the saucepan on stove, bring the water to a boil, then reduce heat to a rapid simmer.)
  • Whisk rapidly until egg yolk mixture is warmed through. Continue whisking as the mixture begins to thicken. After 2 minutes or so it should have doubled in volume and have the consistency of softly whipped cream. Remove from heat and whisk for a minute more.
  • Pour custard into individual demitasse cups or into a serving dish. Cover with plastic wrap and freeze for several hours or overnight.
  • Remove from freezer 10 minutes before serving. Dust with cocoa powder and powdered sugar if desired.

Tips:

  • Use fresh, high-quality ingredients. Fresh egg yolks, sugar, and Marsala wine will make all the difference in the flavor of your zabaglione.
  • Cook the zabaglione slowly and carefully over low heat. Do not let it boil, as this will cause it to curdle.
  • If you don't have a double boiler, you can create one by placing a heatproof bowl over a saucepan of simmering water.
  • Use a whisk to constantly stir the zabaglione as it cooks. This will help to prevent it from curdling.
  • If your zabaglione does curdle, don't panic. Simply remove it from the heat and whisk in a little bit of cold water until it smooths out.
  • Serve the zabaglione immediately, or chill it in the refrigerator for later use.

Conclusion:

Frozen zabaglione is a delicious and versatile dessert that can be enjoyed in many different ways. It can be served as a simple dessert on its own, or used as a topping for cakes, pies, and other desserts. It can also be used as a filling for profiteroles, éclairs, and other pastries. No matter how you choose to serve it, frozen zabaglione is sure to be a hit with your family and friends.
