Created by: Howcan Team
Ingredients
- 4 large egg yolks
- 1/4 cup granulated sugar
- 1/4 cup sweet Marsala wine
- 2 ripe bananas, sliced
- 2 tablespoons unsalted butter
- 2 tablespoons brown sugar
- 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
- Pinch of salt
Instructions
- In a heatproof bowl, whisk together 4 large egg yolks and 1/4 cup granulated sugar until well combined.
- Place the bowl over a pot of simmering water, making sure the bottom of the bowl does not touch the water. Whisk in 1/4 cup sweet Marsala wine and continue to whisk constantly until the mixture thickens and becomes pale yellow, about 5-7 minutes. Remove from heat and whisk in 1 teaspoon vanilla extract. Set aside to cool slightly.
- In a skillet, melt 2 tablespoons unsalted butter over medium heat. Add 2 sliced ripe bananas, 2 tablespoons brown sugar, and a pinch of salt. Cook, stirring occasionally, until the bananas are caramelized and the sugar has melted into a syrup, about 3-4 minutes. Remove from heat.
- Divide the sabayon among 4 serving glasses or bowls. Top each with the caramelized bananas and drizzle with the syrup from the skillet.
- Serve the sabayon with caramelized bananas immediately and enjoy!
