Vin Santo Zabaglione With Orange And Grapefruit

recipe image

This surprisingly rich-tasting custard has much less fat than the classic version made with egg yolks. In another twist, we call for vin santo instead of the conventional choice, Marsala.
Ingredients:

  • 3 medium navel oranges
  • 1 large pink or red grapefruit
  • 3 tablespoons sugar
  • 1 large egg
  • 3 tablespoons vin santo or other sweet dessert wine
  • 3/4 teaspoon cream of tartar
  • Garnish: freshly ground nutmeg

Instructions:

  1. Cut peel and white pith from oranges and grapefruit with a sharp knife, then cut sections free from membranes. Drain fruit in a large sieve set over a bowl 5 minutes, reserving juice for another use. Toss fruit with 1 tablespoon sugar.
  2. Beat egg, remaining 2 tablespoons sugar, vin santo, cream of tartar, and a pinch of salt in a double boiler or a metal bowl set over a pot of simmering water with a hand-held electric mixer at medium speed until slightly thickened and frothy, about 5 minutes (mixture will froth up and then subside a bit before thickening). Remove from heat.
  3. Divide fruit among 4 stemmed glasses and top with zabaglione. Serve immediately.
