CHAMPAGNE SABAYON ON TOP OF MILK CHOCOLATE SAUCE AND FRESH BERRIES

Steps:

• To make the Champagne sabayon, put the egg yolks, sugar, and Champagne in a medium stainless steel bowl. Whisk over barely simmering water (145 degrees F) until mixture begins to thicken. When it has tripled in volume, and falls in ribbons into the bowl, remove it from the water. Place the bowl on a cool surface and continue to whisk until the sabayon has cooled slightly.
• While the sabayon is cooling, heat the milk chocolate sauce in a small sauce pot over low heat. Slowly incorporate the heavy cream until smooth. Mix the chocolate with the fresh berries and pour into a martini glass. Serve the sabayon over the chocolate/berry mixture and garnish with sugar cookies.

CHAMPAGNE SABAYON

Steps:

• Fill a large bowl with ice water.
• In a large heatproof bowl, whisk together the egg yolks, sugar, and Champagne or other sparkling wine. Set the bowl over a saucepan of simmering water and whisk vigorously and constantly. The mixture will first become frothy, then as you continue to whisk, thick and creamy. When the mixture holds its shape when you lift the whisk, remove the bowl from the heat. Set the bowl in the ice water bath and whisk gently until cooled.
• In a stand mixer fitted with the whip attachment (or in a bowl by hand), whisk the cream on medium-high speed until it holds soft peaks. Fold the whipped cream into the sabayon.
• Storage
• Sabayon can be refrigerated for up to 2 days, but it is best used the day it's made.
• Variations
• Don't limit yourself to sabayon flavored with Champagne. In Italy, the traditional flavoring is Marsala, but any dry or sweet white wine is also delicious.
• To make CIDER SABAYON, use 6 large egg yolks and replace the Champagne with 1/2 cup (125 ml) sparkling apple cider and 1/4 cup (60 ml) applejack or Calvados.
