Fruit Gratin with Citrus Sabayon

Ingredients

3 organic egg yolks
1/4 cup of sugar
1/3 cup fresh orange juice
Fall/Winter – apples, grapefruit, oranges, pears, persimmons, pommelo, tangerines
Spring/Summer – apricots, berries, cherries, nectarines, peaches, passionfruit, watermelon

Instructions

Preheat broiler/grill.

In an oven-proof bowl, whisk the egg yolks together. Add sugar, then whisk in orange juice. Place bowl over a saucepan with one inch of simmering water. Whisk constantly until the mixture becomes pale yellow and thick. Remove from heat.

Divide chopped fruit among 4 gratin dishes. Spoon the sabayon over the fruit. Broil/grill until golden brown (about 1 minute).

Serve immediately.

As a follow-up to the hugely successful 6-week detox program we did in Jan/Feb, the girls asked for healthy desserts. As I had them on a gluten-free and dairy-free plan, I’ve kept to this theme. Sabayon is similar to custard but it is dairy-free. Cheap Sports Tickets. If making the sabayon seems daunting (it shouldn’t), then just substitute it for a scoop of coconut ice-cream.

This recipe was taken from At Home Cooking with Jean-Georges Vongerichten.

We are doing a 6 week Spring detox in April, please email me if you are interested in participating. This will be an evening class.
