A warm, smooth, and airy mousse that coats the palate. The mixture whitens and swells under the whisk, releasing the woody aromas of Marsala.

Instructions

0/4
  1. Preparing the water bath

    Heat water in a saucepan. Place a mixing bowl on top without the bottom touching the water. The water should simmer, not boil vigorously.

    3 min
  2. Whisking the yolks

    In the bowl, vigorously whisk the egg yolks and white sugar until the mixture whitens and becomes creamy.

    2 min
  3. Incorporating the wine

    Pour the Marsala in a thin stream while continuing to whisk to fully incorporate it into the mixture.

    1 min
  4. Cooking and emulsion

    Whisk constantly in a figure-eight motion. The cream should double in volume, becoming thick and foamy. When the whisk leaves clear tracks and the foam holds, it's ready.

    7 min

Chef's tips

  • Never let the water bath boil, or you will scramble the eggs.
  • The whisking motion must be constant to trap as much air as possible.
  • Serve immediately in pre-warmed glasses, as the foam collapses quickly.

Storage

This dessert cannot be stored; it must be consumed immediately after cooking.
