Your support helps us to tell the story
From reproductive rights to climate change to Big Tech, The Independent is on the ground when the story is developing. Whether it's investigating the financials of Elon Musk's pro-Trump PAC or producing our latest documentary, 'The A Word', which shines a light on the American women fighting for reproductive rights, we know how important it is to parse out the facts from the messaging.
At such a critical moment in US history, we need reporters on the ground. Your donation allows us to keep sending journalists to speak to both sides of the story.
The Independent is trusted by Americans across the entire political spectrum. And unlike many other quality news outlets, we choose not to lock Americans out of our reporting and analysis with paywalls. We believe quality journalism should be available to everyone, paid for by those who can afford it.
Your support makes all the difference.This sabayon is really a dessert in itself, but it also makes a tempting sauce to serve with fresh orange segments, poached pears (drained of their syrup) or lacy orange tuiles. The cinnamon adds a spicy note and enhances the aroma of the coffee.
1 tablespoon instant coffee
60ml/2fl oz cold water
4 egg yolks
50g/2oz caster sugar
1/2 teaspoon ground cinnamon
Half-fill a saucepan that is large enough to hold a a heatproof glass bowl with warm water. Place the saucepan over a low heat. Put the coffee and cold water in the bowl and whisk with a balloon whisk to dissolve. Lightly whip in egg yolks, sugar and cinnamon.
Set bowl in saucepan and whisk, without stopping, for 10 to 12 minutes. The water must not exceed 90C/195F, or the sabayon will coagulate; the sabayon must not go above 65C/115F.
It will thicken and increase dramatically in volume as air is incorporated. The sabayon is ready when it is light, fluffy, shiny and thick enough to leave a dense ribbon when the whisk is lifted. Serve the sabayon in glasses as soon as it is ready.
