Recipe: Beer zabaglione

Beer zabaglione

Total time: About 15 minutes

Servings: 4

4 egg yolks

6 tablespoons sugar, more or less as desired

1/2 cup Belgian ale, or another blonde or golden ale

1. In a large bowl, whisk together the egg yolks and sugar until combined and frothy. Whisk in the beer.

2. Set the bowl over a large pot of simmering water, making sure the bottom of the bowl does not touch the water. Continue to whisk until the mixture increases in volume and thickens to a thick, foamy cream, easily coating the back of a spoon. The final consistency should be similar to that of a very thick hollandaise.

3. Remove from heat and serve immediately. This makes about 2 cups of zabaglione.
