How to Make Rum Sabayon Sauce

  1. Fill a saucepan with about 2 inches of water and bring to a simmer over medium heat. This will be your double boiler.
  2. In a heatproof bowl that fits snugly over the saucepan (without touching the water), whisk together the egg yolks, sugar, and rum until light and frothy.
  3. Place the bowl over the simmering water, ensuring the bottom of the bowl doesn't touch the water. Whisk continuously for 5-7 minutes, until the mixture thickens and coats the back of a spoon. Be careful not to overheat; the mixture should be thick but not scrambled.
  4. Remove from heat immediately and continue whisking for another minute to cool slightly. The sauce will continue to thicken as it cools.
  5. Serve warm over your favorite fruits or chilled for a refreshing twist. Enjoy!
