ICED CELEBRATOR SABAYON WITH MELON SAUCE

 

Serves 8

 

4 egg yolks

150 g sugar

1/8 l Ayinger Celebrator

1 pinch ground cinnamon

4 leaves of gelatine soaked in water

 

For the melon sauce:

400 g ripe melon (Honeydew or Galia), cubed

2 cl white wine

2 cl maraschino

 

Beat the egg yolks with the sugar, beer and cinnamon over heat in a double boiler until smooth, put saucepan on a bed of ice and continue beating the mixture until it has cooled down somewhat.

 

Drain gelatine leaves well and dissolve in a small amount of hot water, stir into the mixture before it has cooled down too much. Distribute mixture between 8 ramekins and put into freezer to set.

 

Blend melon cubes, white wine and maraschino into a smooth purée.

 

Dip ramekins with frozen sabayon briefly into hot water, loosen contents with a flat knife and empty onto a dessert plate. Pour melon sauce around the sabayon, optionally garnish with fresh fruit and serve.
