Can you believe only 3 ingredients? Easier to make than you think. The flavouris incredible. Luscious and intense, yet light and refreshing at the same time.

Once you see how easy this is to make, you must give Perfect Lemon Curd a try too. You will master it the first time.

For this sabayon recipe, I chose Woodbridge by Robert Mondavi CHARDONNAY. Clean and crisp with flavours of cinnamon, caramel, apple, and oak. The flavours work so well with the gingersnaps and pomegranate ariels in this pretty and festive dessert. Feel free to enjoy this wonderful dessert all on its own too.

Recipe Tips

• Can sabayon be made in advance? Yes, it can be made a couple of days ahead of time. Keep it covered in the refrigerator until ready to use.
• Can sabayon be served cold? Yes, however, it does taste better warm or at room temperature. If you make it in advance, just place it on the counter to get the chill out of it before serving.
• Be sure not to OVERCOOK the sabayon sauce. The end result should be a silky smooth sauce (thick and ribbony). The temperature of the sauce should be around 150º F
• This is a fairly quick process, so be sure to have all your ingredients measured and ready to go.
• Whisk, whisk and whisk the entire cooking process. Hence having your ingredients ready, you will be busy whisking.
• Be sure the water does not come to a boil but remains at a constant simmer.
• If you wish, you can use a double boiler, or the pot and bowl method. I would not recommend cooking this over direct heat.
• What is the best wine for making sabayon? This is where you can have some fun. Try whatever you like.
• What to serve with sabayon? For this recipe, I used berries and crushed ginger cookies. Experiment and see what works for you or your dinner theme. You can try shaved chocolate, broken up pieces of cake, or even all on its own.

Sabayon vs Zabaglione

Is there a difference between the two classic recipes? YES! Sabayon is the French adaption of the Italian zabaglione.

Sabayon is made with white wine. More wine in the recipe creates a softer, lighter cream.

Zabaglione is typically made with sweet Marsala wine and 1 tablespoon of sugar for each egg yolk. Less wine in the recipe creates a sweeter and a little denser marsala sauce.
