Chilled Strawberry and Pimm's Zabaglione
- 200 g strawberries, hulled and roughly chopped
- 1 tablespoon golden caster sugar
- 2 leaves gelatin or 12 g powdered gelatin
- 2 tablespoons very hot water (but not boiling)
- 150 ml Pimm's liqueur
- 5 large egg yolks
- 100 g golden caster sugar
- 1 (142 ml) carton whipping cream or 1 (142 ml) carton double cream
- Sprinkle the strawberries with the sugar and set aside for 2-4 hours.
- Put the gelatine leaves into a small bowl of cold water and leave for five minutes until soft.
- If using the powdered gelatine, stir into the very hot water until dissolved.
- Pour 3 tbs of the Pimm's into a small saucepan and heat gently.
- If using the gelatine leaves, squeeze the water from the gelatine and add to the hot Pimm's, whisking furiously until dissolved.
- The procedure is the same for the powdered, except that you just stir the whole mixture in, including the water.
- Set the Pimm's and gelatine mixture aside but keep warm.
- Now, bring an inch or two of water to a bare simmer in a saucepan that will hold a large mixing bowl, without the bottom of the bowl touching the water.
- Put the egg yolks and sugar into the mixing bowl, off the heat.
- Use an electric beater to whisk for three minutes, until thick and pale.
- Pour in the remaining Pimm's (not the gelatine mixture) and beat for another minute.
- Put the bowl over the barely simmering water and beat continuously until the mixture has at least doubled and looks frothy, like the head on a glass of Guinness.
- Take off the heat, pour in the gelatine mixture and beat for one minute.
- Place the bowl in a sink of ice-cold water and cool for about 10 minutes, whisking occasionally.
- Whip the cream into soft peaks and then whisk it into the zabaglione.
- Spoon into four large wine glasses, leaving an inch at the top for the strawberries.
- Cover and refrigerate for at least two hours.
- Just before serving, spoon the strawberries and their juices into the top of the glasses.
