If you are a fan of creamy Italian desserts, then you must have tried Zabaione or Zabaglione at least once. This classic Italian dessert is typically made with egg yolks, sugar, and sweet wine, creating a velvety and indulgent treat. However, what if you are looking for a non-alcoholic version of this delight? In this blog post, we will show you how to make a delicious Zabaione without liquor, perfect for those who prefer to skip the alcohol or for those who want to enjoy it with the whole family. Let's get started!
Ingredients:
- 4 egg yolks
- 1/4 cup of granulated sugar
- 1/4 cup of non-alcoholic sparkling grape juice
- 1 teaspoon of vanilla extract
Instructions:
1. In a medium-sized heatproof bowl, combine the egg yolks and sugar. Whisk them together until they form a smooth and pale yellow mixture.
2. Place the bowl over a saucepan with simmering water, making sure the bottom of the bowl doesn't touch the water. This creates a double boiler setup and helps to gently cook the eggs.
3. Continue whisking the egg yolks and sugar mixture constantly, ensuring that the heat is low to prevent curdling. Whisk for about 10 minutes or until the mixture becomes creamy and thick.
4. Remove the bowl from the heat and let it cool for a few minutes.
5. Slowly pour in the non-alcoholic sparkling grape juice while whisking continuously. This substitute for wine will add sweetness and fruity flavor to your Zabaione.
6. Add the vanilla extract to the mixture and whisk until well combined.
7. Transfer the Zabaione to serving glasses or bowls. You can enjoy it warm or let it cool in the refrigerator for a couple of hours to firm up.
8. Serve the non-alcoholic Zabaione as it is or top it with fresh fruits, berries, or a sprinkle of cocoa powder to enhance its taste and presentation.
