Fresh Raspberry Gratins
- 8 extra-large egg yolks
- 2/3 cup superfine or caster sugar
- 1 cup sweet Marsala wine
- 1/4 teaspoon pure vanilla extract
- 6 half-pints fresh raspberries
- Granulated sugar
- Preheat the broiler for at least 15 minutes, with the rack about 5 inches away from the heat.
- To make the sabayon, whisk together the egg yolks and sugar in a heat-proof bowl set over a pan of simmering (not boiling) water until thick and creamy, about 4 to 5 minutes.
- Whisk almost constantly, scraping the egg mixture from the bottom of the bowl.
- Slowly whisk in the Marsala wine and continue whisking over the simmering water for about 5 more minutes, until the mixture is thick and smooth, like a soft whipped cream.
- It should register about 150 degrees F on an instant-read thermometer.
- Whisk in the vanilla, remove from the heat, and set aside.
- Place one snug layer of raspberries in 6 (6 to 7-inch) shallow gratin dishes.
- (Each of my dishes holds about one half-pint of raspberries.)
- Spoon enough sabayon over the raspberries to cover them.
- Sprinkle each one lightly with granulated sugar.
- Arrange the dishes on 2 sheet pans and place themone pan at a timeunder the broiler for 2 to 3 minutes, or until the tops of the gratins are lightly browned.
- Watch them carefully; they burn really quickly!
- Serve warm.
