Raspberry Gratin
- 16 large egg yolks
- 1/2 cup honey
- 1/2 cup Marsala
- 2 cup heavy cream
- 2 teaspoons granulated sugar
- 1 pound biscotti, broken into 1/2-inch pieces
- 2 pints raspberries
- 2 tablespoons fresh lemon juice
- 1/2 teaspoon finely ground gray salt
- 4 tablespoons confectioners' sugar
- Pour water to a depth of about 2 inches into a saucepan or the bottom pan of a double boiler and bring to a bare simmer.
- In a large stainless steel or other heatproof bowl or the top pan of the double boiler, whisk together the egg yolks, honey and Marsala until well blended.
- Set the bowl or pan over, but not touching, the simmering water and whisk vigorously until the mixture lightens in color and thickens and the whisk leaves a trail, about 3 to 5 minutes.
- To test, draw the whisk through the center of the mixture; it should leave a clean trail on the bottom of the bowl or pan.
- Add the wine and continue whisking constantly until the mixture is pale, thick, and greatly expanded in volume, about 10 minutes.
- Do not let the mixture boil or the eggs will curdle.
- When the zabaglione is light and fluffy and holding a soft peak, remove from the heat and let cool at room temperature for 10 minutes, whisking occasionally.
- Meanwhile preheat the oven to 425 degrees F.
- In a bowl using a mixer or a whisk, whip the cream with the granulated sugar until stiff peaks form.
- When the egg mixture has cooled for 10 minutes, using a rubber spatula, fold the whipped cream into the zabaglione, being careful not to deflate the mixture.
- You should have 6 to 7 cups.
- Add the biscotti to a 10-inch gratin dish.
- In a small bowl, combine the raspberries, lemon juice, and salt and toss lightly.
- Arrange the berries over the biscotti.
- With a large spoon, scoop the zabaglione over the raspberries, and sift the sugar over the top.
- Arrange the gratin dish on a baking sheet and place in the oven.
- Bake the gratin until the tops are golden brown in spots about 10 to 12 minutes.
- Remove from the oven, let rest for 5 minutes and serve warm.
