Servings: 6
Equipment
- Cowboy Charcoal cherry wood chips
Ingredients
- 2 tbsp bourbon or whiskey
- 8 egg yolks
- 1/2 cup granulated sugar
- 1 1/2 cups berries raspberries, blackberries, blueberries
- 2 tsp granulated sugar
- 1 sprig fresh mint chopped
- 1 tsp orange zest
Instructions
- Create Smoke: Place wood chips in a smoke tube or foil pouch and place on a grill over high heat.
- Smoke Bourbon: Place the bourbon or whiskey in a small metal bowl. Once the wood chips start smoking, add the liquor to the grill over indirect heat. Close the lid and smoke for 15 minutes. Remove and let cool.
- Adjust Grill: Reduce the grill temperature to medium-low heat.
- Whisk: Place the egg yolks, 1/2 cup sugar and smoked bourbon in a metal bowl or pot. Place the bowl on the grill and whisk continuously for 15-20 minutes, until the sabayon becomes frothy, thick and about double in size.
- Plate: Place half of the berries on a rimmed platter or large shallow bowl. Pour the sabayon over the berries. Add the remaining berries on top.
- Brûlée: Sprinkle 2 teaspoons of sugar over the berries. Brûlée with a kitchen torch to create a crackling topping.
- Garnish: Sprinkle with fresh mint and orange zest.
Notes
Instead of whisking the eggs and sugar in a bowl on a grill, you can also place the bowl over a pot of simmering water.
The brulee step is optional. It adds a nice sugary crunch and enhances the smokey flavor.
