Figs with Aperol zabaglione (custard)
serves
4
Ingredients (6)
- 6 egg yolks, at room temperature
- 1/3 cup (75g) caster sugar
- 1/4 cup (60ml) Aperol
- 6 large black figs, quartered lengthways
- 4 savoiardi biscuits (ladyfingers), crumbled, plus extra, whole, for dipping
- 1 small blood orange, sliced into rounds
Method
-
1.Place yolks and sugar in the bowl of a stand mixer fitted with the whisk attachment and whisk on medium-high speed, occasionally scraping down side of bowl, for 3 minutes or until very pale and fluffy. Add Aperol and whisk until just combined.
-
2.Transfer mixture to a large heatproof bowl. Place over a medium saucepan of very gently simmering water (make sure bowl does not touch the water) and whisk vigorously and constantly for 4 minutes (this will ensure you don’t scramble the egg) or until egg is cooked and the mixture triples in size, is very aerated and holds a soft peak. Remove bowl from pan and continue to whisk for 1-2 minutes until mixture starts to cool a little.
-
3.Layer zabaglione and figs in 4 serving glasses. Top with crumbled savoiardi and place blood orange slices alongside or on rims of glasses. Serve immediately with extra savoiardi biscuits for dipping.
