Praline Baskets With Frozen Almond Zabaglione

Preparation

1. Step 1

   Prepare the praline baskets and set aside.

2. Step 2

   Use a heavy, deep, preferably round-bottom mixing bowl to prepare this dessert.

3. Step 3

   Put the yolks in the bowl and add the sugar and water. Set the bowl in a basin of simmering water or over a very low flame and beat as vigorously as possible with a wire whisk. Beat until the mixture is quite foamy and thickened. Immediately beat in the almond- or hazelnut-flavored liqueur.

4. Step 4

   Place the bowl in a basin of cold water containing ice and continue beating until cool.

5. Step 5

   Whip the cream until stiff. Add one-third of the whipped cream to the sauce and beat it in. Fold in the remaining cream. Spoon the mixture into a metal or glass dish and place in the freezer. Let stand until frozen. Scoop equal portions of the zabaglione into the praline baskets and serve.
