Time 20m

Yield Six servings

Number Of Ingredients 6

6 praline baskets (see recipe)
7 egg yolks
1/2 cup sugar
2 tablespoons water
1/3 cup almond- or hazelnut-flavored liqueur
1 cup heavy cream

Steps:

  • Prepare the praline baskets and set aside.
  • Use a heavy, deep, preferably round-bottom mixing bowl to prepare this dessert.
  • Put the yolks in the bowl and add the sugar and water. Set the bowl in a basin of simmering water or over a very low flame and beat as vigorously as possible with a wire whisk. Beat until the mixture is quite foamy and thickened. Immediately beat in the almond- or hazelnut-flavored liqueur.
  • Place the bowl in a basin of cold water containing ice and continue beating until cool.
  • Whip the cream until stiff. Add one-third of the whipped cream to the sauce and beat it in. Fold in the remaining cream. Spoon the mixture into a metal or glass dish and place in the freezer. Let stand until frozen. Scoop equal portions of the zabaglione into the praline baskets and serve.
