Method
Combine the egg yolks, caster sugar, and Vin Santo in a heat‑proof bowl.
Whisk the mixture until it becomes light and aerated.
Kitchen notes · Added by ReelsMeals: The mixture looks light and aerated. Whisk until air is incorporated throughout.
Place the bowl over a bain‑marie and gently heat, stirring constantly, until the mixture reaches 149°F.
Transfer the bowl to a stand mixer and whisk on full speed until the sabayon has doubled in volume and is thick and glossy.
Transfer the sabayon to a container lined with cling film or to a piping bag and set aside.
In a separate bowl, toss the blueberries, cherries, raspberries, and strawberries with a small amount of icing sugar and let them macerate for 10 minutes.
Kitchen notes · Added by ReelsMeals: The fruit releases juice and looks lightly coated. Toss gently so the berries stay intact.
Arrange the macerated fruit on serving plates, pipe or spoon the sabayon over the fruit, and place under a hot grill for a brief moment to lightly color the surface.
Kitchen notes · Added by ReelsMeals: The surface is lightly colored. Keep the grilling brief so the fruit and sabayon remain distinct.
Serve the dessert immediately.
