Best Rum Zabaglione With Strawberries And Amaretti Recipes

RUM ZABAGLIONE WITH STRAWBERRIES AND AMARETTI

Steps:

• Prepare the strawberries: In a bowl, toss the strawberries with the sugar and the rum and let macerate 20 minutes.
• Divide among 4 goblets and sprinkle each serving with 1 tblsp of crushed amaretti.
• Make zabaglione: In a large, heatproof bowl, beat yolks with sugar until thick and pale, about 8 minutes.
• Set bowl over a pan of simmering water, ensuring that bowl is not actually on the surface of the water, and beat with mixer for 1 minute.
• Add wine and rum in a slow, steady stream, beating constantly, and beat mixture at high speed for 6-10 minutes, or until it is very light and thickened and beater leaves a pattern in its wake.
• Remove bowl from pan and beat 1 minute longer.
• Spoon zabaglione into goblets and sprinkle with remaining amaretti.
• Serve immediately.

MAKE-AHEAD ZABAGLIONE WITH AMARETTI

Steps:

• Place the egg yolks, sugar, and Marsala wine in a large heat-proof glass bowl and whisk them together. Place the bowl on a pan of simmering water to make a double boiler and whisk the mixture almost constantly for 5 to 7 minutes, until it expands in volume and becomes thickened. You'll see the froth disappear and the whisk will leave a little trail in the mixture. Don't walk away from it or you¿ll end up with scrambled eggs! Off the heat, whisk in the vanilla and almond extracts. Set aside for 30 minutes to cool to room temperature, whisking once or twice as it cools.
• Place the cream in the bowl of an electric mixer fitted with the whisk attachment (you can also use a hand mixer) and beat it just until it forms firm peaks. With a rubber spatula, carefully fold the cream into the Marsala mixture. Spoon half of the mixture into each of 4 or 5 decorative glasses (depending on the size), sprinkle each with 1 tablespoon of crushed Amaretti, and spoon the rest of the mixture on top. Sprinkle with the remaining Amaretti crumbs, cover with plastic wrap, and chill for a few hours or overnight. Serve cold.
