Orange & honey zabaglione

Zabaglione is a classic Italian dessert that's both light and creamy. This particular version combines the richness of traditional zabaglione with the refreshing flavor of orange and the sweetness of honey. Using just a few ingredients, you can create a delicious and elegant dessert that's perfect for any occasion.

Ingredients:

6 yolks
100g
2 tbsp sugar
30g
2 tbsp honey
20g
1 cup orange juice
230g

Instructions:

1. Preparation:
- Separate the egg yolks from the whites, ensuring no traces of egg white are left with the yolks.
- Squeeze fresh oranges to obtain 1 cup of orange juice, if possible.
2. Mix Ingredients:
- In a heatproof bowl, preferably stainless steel, combine the egg yolks, sugar, and honey.
- Whisk the mixture together until it becomes pale and well combined.
3. Add Orange Juice:
- Gradually add the orange juice into the egg mixture while continuing to whisk. Ensure the mixture is smooth and homogeneous.
4. Heat and Whisk:
- Set up a double boiler by choosing a saucepan that fits the heatproof bowl snugly. Fill the saucepan with about an inch of water and bring it to a simmer over medium heat.
- Place the bowl with the egg mixture over the simmering water, ensuring the bottom of the bowl does not touch the water.
- Continuously whisk the mixture in a figure-eight motion to promote even cooking and prevent scrambling. This step is crucial as it ensures the zabaglione will be light and airy.
5. Cook Until Thickened:
- Keep whisking for about 10-15 minutes or until the mixture has thickened, tripled in volume, and forms soft peaks. The temperature of the mixture should reach about 150-160°F (65-70°C) for safe consumption.
6. Serving:
- Once thickened and airy, remove the zabaglione from heat.
- Serve immediately for the best texture and flavor. The zabaglione can be presented in individual serving glasses or bowls.
7. Garnish (Optional):
- You can garnish your zabaglione with fresh orange zest, a drizzle of honey, or a sprig of mint for an added touch.

Tips:

- Use fresh orange juice for the best flavor.

- Make sure to whisk the yolks and sugar until they are light and frothy; this helps to create a light and airy texture.

- When cooking the mixture, ensure the heat is low and constant to avoid scrambling the eggs.

- A double boiler is ideal for cooking zabaglione, but if you don't have one, you can improvise by placing a heatproof bowl over a pot of simmering water.

- Serve zabaglione warm or chilled, depending on your preference. It pairs wonderfully with fresh fruit or a light cake.
