Ingredients

Scale
  • 4 egg yolk, room temperature
  • 1/2 cup granulated sugar
  • 1/2 cup Marsala
  • 1/2 cup – 1 cup of fresh fruit per person
  • sliced almonds, toasted

Instructions

  1. In a medium bowl, whisk the egg yolks until foamy.
  2. Whisk in the sugar.
  3. Whisk in the Marsala
  4. Set the bowl over simmering (not boiling) water.
  5. Whisk vigorously and continuously until the mixture thickens and greatly expands its volume.
  6. You’ll know it’s done when the mixture leaves a “ribbon” on top of the custard when the whisk is lifted from the bowl.
  7. Serve warm over fresh-cut fruit and topped with the toasted almonds.

Notes

  • Adjust your heat so that the water always maintains a gentle simmer.
  • The mixture will curdle if it gets too hot. Remove the bowl from above the simmering water to cool it down.
  • Don’t stop whisking once the process begins or your eggs will burn or curdle. It’s a commitment once you begin, but, oh, so worth the effort.
