Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 4 Egg yolks
- 75 grams Granulated sugar
- 120 milliliters Fresh grapefruit juice
- 30 milliliters Marsala wine (optional)
- 1 teaspoon Vanilla extract
- 1 teaspoon Grapefruit zest
- 1 whole grapefruit Fresh grapefruit segments (for serving)
- 4 leaves Mint leaves (optional, for garnish)
Instructions
In a large heatproof bowl, whisk together the egg yolks and granulated sugar until the mixture becomes pale and thick, about 2-3 minutes.
Add the fresh grapefruit juice, Marsala wine (if using), vanilla extract, and grapefruit zest to the egg mixture. Whisk until well combined.
Set the heatproof bowl over a pot of simmering water, ensuring the bottom of the bowl does not touch the water. Continue whisking the mixture constantly to prevent the eggs from scrambling.
Whisk the mixture for approximately 8-10 minutes, or until it thickens to a custard-like consistency and forms a smooth, silky texture.
Remove the bowl from the heat and let the zabaglione cool slightly for about 3 minutes.
Divide the zabaglione evenly among four serving glasses or bowls. Add fresh grapefruit segments to each serving for a refreshing burst of flavor.
Garnish with fresh mint leaves, if desired, and serve immediately. Enjoy this delightful dessert warm or at room temperature.
