Zabaglione

It's a classic Italian dessert that I love and I can have it any day and anytime of the year!
Eggs, sugar and cream - what else do I need to think of for a heavenly dessert.

Ingredients:
3 egg yolks
6 tbsp sugar
Some pure vanilla extract
1 cup double cream

Method:
1. Whip the cream with some vanilla essence and 3 tbsp sugar until it forms stiff peaks. Set aside in the fridge.
2. Keep a large pot of water to boil. Set the flame such that it gently steams.
3. In a separate bowl, lightly mix egg yolks, remaining sugar and some vanilla extract.
4. Cook this mixture while constantly whipping over the gently steaming water bath.
5. It will take about 3-5 minutes to cook. It should be a smooth running, pale yellow mixture.
6. Immediately immerse the bowl in ice cold water while still whipping to cool the eggs completely.
7. Gently fold the egg mixture in the whipped cream and transfer to individual bowls.
8. Set aside to set in the fridge for at least at hour.

Serve it on crushed butter cookies and to with some roasted grapes. That's what I did for my Greek Dinner Party :)
Enjoy!
