Method

  1. 1

    Combine the egg yolks, caster sugar, and Vin Santo in a heat‑proof bowl.

  2. 2

    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.

  3. 3

    Place the bowl over a bain‑marie and gently heat, stirring constantly, until the mixture reaches 149°F.

  4. 4

    Transfer the bowl to a stand mixer and whisk on full speed until the sabayon has doubled in volume and is thick and glossy.

  5. 5

    Transfer the sabayon to a container lined with cling film or to a piping bag and set aside.

  6. 6

    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.

  7. 7

    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.

  8. 8

    Serve the dessert immediately.
