Cava Sabayon

Creamy wine sabayon has multiple uses, including as a dessert sauce.


Ingredients: 2-3 servings.

  • 4 egg yolks
  • 3 egg shells sugar
  • 2 egg shells dry white wine (low acidity)
  • 2 egg shells cava

Sometimes a recipe requires less precision and only needs an egg shell as a measurement.


The recipe is an alternative to the white wine sabayon. We're replacing half the wine with cava (brut or semi dry).

  1. Put the egg yolks in a sauce pan, add the cava, wine and sugar.
  2. The stove should be on low heat.
  3. Continually whisk energetically. In the beginning the mixture should foam.
  4. Gradually the foaming will decrease and the liquid becomes thicker and thicker.
  5. Continue whisking well until the cream starts to make light folds. Take the pan off the stove and keep whisking. You should have a smooth and soft cream.
  6. Use as dessert or as ingredient. It can also serve as a sauce.


Tools used: Whisk, silicone spatula.
