Difficulty :


Ingredients

  • 12 apricots
  • 20cl single cream
  • 3 tbsp honey
  • 10g butter
  • 2 sprigs rosemary
  • Fleur de sel
  • For the sabayon:
  • 4 egg yolks
  • 4 tbsp water
  • 20g sugar

Preparation

Step 1

Preheat the oven to 180°.

Step 2

Halve the apricots, remove the stones and lay them in an oven-proof dish. Add a few knobs of butter, drizzle with honey and add the rosemary. Cook for around 20 minutes.

Step 3

Whisk the egg yolks, water and sugar using a food mixer or a whisk for around 10 minutes (until the egg yolks turn white and triple in volume).

Step 4

Pour into a small pan and cook on a low heat for a while, stirring all the time (the cream should stick ever so slightly to the edge of the pan). Set aside.

Step 5

Whisk the single cream and gently fold it into the egg yolk mixture to get a sabayon.

Step 6

Pour the sabayon into individual ramekins. Add the roasted apricots and put under the grill for a few minutes (the sabayon should turn a lovely golden colour.

Step 7

Serve warm, sprinkled with fleur de sel, and add a sprig of rosemary to garnish.
