Ingredients

  • 2 large eggs
  • 4 large egg yolks
  • 1/2 cup sugar
  • 1/3 cup late-harvest Riesling (or other sweet dessert wine)

Method

  • Combine all the ingredients in a stainless steel bowl.
  • Choose a saucepan large enough to set the bowl over and fill it with 2 inches of water.
  • Bring to a simmer.
  • Whisk the egg mixture in the bowl.
  • Place the bowl over the simmering water and whisk vigorously until it is about triple in volume and thick and frothy.
  • Lift the bowl off the steam a few times, while whisking, to insure that the mixture does not get too hot and scramble the eggs.
  • The total cooking time will be about 8 minutes.
  • Remove the bowl from the heat and whisk to cool slightly.
  • Serve now, or cover with plastic wrap pressed directly onto the surface and use within 2 hours.
  • It may need to be whisked again just before serving.
