RUM SABAYON SAUCE
I don't usually eat fruit for dessert (I like my desserts to be as unhealthy as possible, apparently). If this sauce is served with it, though, I'm pretty thrilled to have fruit for a treat...maybe because it stops being healthy once it's smothered in a rum custard sauce? This makes 1 1/2 cups of sauce.

SABAYON
Sabayon is a creamy yet dairy-free dessert. Use an oversized bowl to allow room for the balloon whisk. Whisk in large, gentle strokes rather than furiously; you're trying to give the mousse time to cook.

Steps:
- Pour a few inches of water into a pan and bring to a boil. Reduce heat to medium-low to keep water at a simmer. Combine egg yolks, water, Marsala, and sugar in a large heat-proof bowl and set above the simmering water. Cook, whisking constantly with a balloon whisk, until sugar is dissolved and mixture starts to thicken, about 2 minutes.
- Continue cooking and whisking until sabayon is the texture of mousse and holds its shape, 15 to 20 minutes. Lift bowl occasionally to let steam escape and keep eggs from overcooking. Serve immediately.

Tips:

- Cook the sabayon over low heat, stirring constantly, until it has thickened and coats the back of a spoon.
- Don't let the sabayon boil, or it will curdle.
- If you're not sure if the sabayon is done, you can test it by dipping a spoon into it and running your finger across the back. If the line holds for a few seconds, the sabayon is done.
- Serve the sabayon immediately, or it will start to thicken.
Conclusion:
Rum sabayon is a delicious and versatile dessert that can be served on its own or used as a topping for other desserts, such as fruit tarts or pound cake. It's also a great way to use up leftover egg yolks. With just a few simple ingredients and a little bit of time, you can make a delicious and impressive dessert that your friends and family will love.
