CHILLED ZABAGLIONE WITH BERRIES

Steps:

• 1 At least 20 minutes before you are ready to make the zabaglione, place a large bowl and the beaters of an electric mixer in the refrigerator. Fill another large bowl with ice and water. 2 Prepare the zabaglione through step 3. As soon as the zabaglione is finished, remove it from the simmering water and set the bowl over the ice water. With a wire whisk, beat the zabaglione until it is cold, about 3 minutes. 3 Remove the chilled bowl and beaters from the refrigerator. Pour the cream into the bowl and whip the cream at high speed until it begins to hold a soft shape, about 2 minutes. Add the confectioner's sugar and orange liqueur. Whip the cream until it holds a soft shape when the beaters are lifted, about 2 minutes more. With a flexible spatula, gently fold in the chilled zabaglione. Cover and chill in the refrigerator at least 1 hour until ready to serve. 4 Divide the berries among 6 serving dishes. Top with the chilled zabaglione cream and serve immediately.

VIN SANTO ZABAGLIONE WITH ORANGE AND GRAPEFRUIT

Steps:

• Cut peel and white pith from oranges and grapefruit with a sharp knife, then cut sections free from membranes. Drain fruit in a large sieve set over a bowl 5 minutes, reserving juice for another use. Toss fruit with 1 tablespoon sugar.
• Beat egg, remaining 2 tablespoons sugar, vin santo, cream of tartar, and a pinch of salt in a double boiler or a metal bowl set over a pot of simmering water with a hand-held electric mixer at medium speed until slightly thickened and frothy, about 5 minutes (mixture will froth up and then subside a bit before thickening). Remove from heat.
• Divide fruit among 4 stemmed glasses and top with zabaglione. Serve immediately.

ORANGES GRATINéED WITH ZABAGLIONE

Steps:

• 1 Preheat the broiler. Arrange the orange slices in a flameproof baking dish, overlapping slightly. 2 Prepare the zabaglione: Fill a small saucepan or the bottom of a double boiler with 2 inches of water. Bring it to a simmer over low heat. In a bowl larger than the rim of the pan or the top of the double boiler, combine the egg, yolks, sugar, and Marsala. Beat with a hand-held electric beater until foamy. Place over the pan of simmering water. Beat until the mixture is pale-colored and holds a soft shape when the beaters are lifted, about 5 minutes. 3 Spread the zabaglione over the oranges. Put the dish under the broiler 1 to 2 minutes or until the zabaglione is browned in spots. Serve immediately. From "1,000 Italian Recipes." Copyright 2004 by Michele Scicolone.

ORANGE SUPREME GRATINEE WITH TANGY SABAYON SAUCE

Steps:

• Preheat the broiler on low.
• Place the oranges in a medium ovenproof dish, or divide among 4 ovenproof custard dishes. Spoon the Tangy Sabayon Sauce over the top (a couple tablespoons over each if using the individual dishes). Sprinkle with brown sugar. Place on a baking sheet, place under the broiler, and cook until golden to dark brown. Watch very closely for burning! Serve immediately.
• Place the egg yolks, sugar, and wine in a metal bowl. Place the bowl over a saucepan of barely simmering water, making a double boiler. Whisk the mixture constantly until it foams and then becomes creamy and doubles in size, about 5 minutes. Mixture should be uncomfortably warm to the touch, but not burning. Remove the pan from the heat and whisk in the sour cream.
