Wine Tip
Vin Santo, 2009
A caramel-colored, almost honey-like dessert wine is a wonderful choice when making this classic dessert. The aromas of toasted nuts and dried fruit in the wine blend into the creaminess of the dish, while the wine’s subtle acidity offers a dynamic excitement to the palate.
Step 1
Separate eggs. Whisk egg yolks with half of the confectioner’s sugar until pale and fluffy. Add Amaretto and mascarpone. Whisk until smooth.
