Oranges with Orange Blossom Sabayon
- 4 large egg yolks
- 1 tablespoon sugar
- 2 tablespoons sake
- 1 tablespoon orange blossom water
- 2 teaspoons corn syrup
- 1/2 cup (4 ounces/113 grams) heavy whipping cream
- 8 small oranges, preferably a variety
- 1/2 cup (2 1/8 ounces/50 grams) slivered almonds, toasted and salted
- 2 mint leaves, torn, optional
- Fill a large bowl with ice and water and set aside.
- Put the yolks, sugar, sake, orange blossom water, and corn syrup in a microwave-safe bowl and whisk until well combined.
- Microwave on the high setting, uncovered, for 10 seconds.
- Remove from the microwave, whisk well, and microwave for another 10 seconds.
- Repeat this procedure until the mixture is as thick as custard and almost like soft scrambled eggs in consistency, about 80 seconds total.
- The time will vary depending on the strength of your microwave, so start watching the consistency closely after 1 minute.
- Continue whisking as you remove the bowl from the microwave and set it on top of the ice water bath.
- Whisk constantly until the mixture is cool to the touch.
- Put the cream in the bowl of an electric mixer fitted with the whisk attachment and whisk until soft peaks form.
- (When you lift the whisk from the mixture, a peak will form and then fall back down.)
- Gently fold the whipped cream into the yolk mixture until well incorporated.
- Cover and refrigerate for at least 1 hour.
- Trim off the ends of each orange.
- Stand an orange on one end and use a sharp knife to peel off the skin from top to bottom in strips, leaving no white pith.
- Repeat with the remaining oranges.
- Cut the oranges into 1/4-inch-thick slices crosswise, and set aside.
- Arrange the orange slices decoratively on individual dessert plates.
- Top with the sabayon and garnish with the toasted almonds and mint, if desired.
- Serve immediately.
