Ingredients

3 cups mix of hulled and quartered strawberries, blueberries, raspberries, and/or blackberries
4 egg yolks
1/3 cup sugar
1/4 cup fresh grapefruit juice
Pinch kosher salt
Grated grapefruit zest

Directions

In a large bowl, toss together the berries. Spoon the berries into serving dishes and set aside.

Meanwhile, combine the egg yolks, sugar, grapefruit juice, and salt in a large metal or glass bowl. Whisk vigorously until combined and the color is a pale yellow. Set the bowl over a saucepan of simmering water. Be very careful not to let the bottom of the bowl touch the simmering water. Using a whisk or an electric hand mixer, vigorously whisk the egg mixture until it has tripled in volume and is very thick and creamy, about 4 to 5 minutes.

Spoon the warm zabaglione over the berries. Top with a light sprinkle of grapefruit zest. Serve immediately.

Loved it!
Rated: 5 stars out of 5

I just made this today! It was delicious and not eggy at all. It feeds about 2 or 3 people. I have never made a zabaglione... until today and i'm so glad i tried it. The recipe is simple and can be made from ingredients you most likely already have in the house (maybe except for grapefruit). I had to whisk for about 6 mins over a low heat and when it didn't thicken up enough, turned up the heat for the last 2 minutes. maybe an electric mixer would have been easier. either way, it was still very simple and tasted sweet, not sour. the grapefruit was really good in it, and i don't eat grapefruit by itself. It took a total of 10 minutes so i iike this too!Read more

Our Favorite non-chocolate dessert!
Rated: 5 stars out of 5

This is definately my favorite zabaglione. The grapefruit juice gives the custard a light tang and keeps the perfect pale... yellow color. I made this and put it over strawberries and blueberries and it was scrumptious. I also left out the grapefruit zest and garnished with fresh mint sprigs. The reason you guys have been getting an eggy taste is because you are not constantly whisking, or whisking hard enough because if you dont the egg will scramble in a way. So just whisk hard for 6 minutes and it will be incredible every time! This will be had over and over by me and my family! Read more
