Plum–and–Honey Sabayon Gratins

Rate & Review

(88 people have added this recipe to their favorites.)

This stunning plum-studded sabayon—an airy custard sweetened with clover honey and Moscato—is summer’s answer to crème brûlée. If you don’t have Moscato on hand, any honey-inflected dessert wine will do, such as Muscat de Beaumes-de-Venise or a late-harvest Riesling.

Pairing Suggestion

The difference between Moscato d’Asti and Muscat de Beaumes-de-Venise—both of which are light, golden dessert wines that will pair beautifully with these fluffy gratins—is one of style: They’re both made from Muscat grapes, though the Italian Moscato d’Asti is lightly sparkling while the Beaumes-de-Venise is still and higher in alcohol. Both have lovely floral aromas and flavors that recall honey and peaches. Try the fragrant 2006 Coppo Moncalvina Moscato d’Asti or the crisp 2007 Paul Jaboulet Aîné Muscat Beaumes-de-Venise.
