Fresh Peaches With Sabayon is a classic French dessert that is simple, yet elegant. It consists of ripe and juicy peaches that are served with a sweet, creamy sauce made with marsala wine and egg yolks. This light and refreshing dessert is a perfect way to enjoy the best of summer fruits while complementing the flavors with a rich and flavorful sauce.

3.	Remove the mixing bowl from the heat and continue to whisk the mixture until it comes to room temperature.
4.	In a separate bowl, add the sliced peaches and divide the peaches amongst individual serving plates.
5.	Drizzle the sabayon sauce over the peaches and garnish with fresh mint sprigs.

Fresh, sweet and tangy peaches paired with sweet, creamy and slightly boozy sabayon sauce is a perfect combination for a light, yet flavorful dessert.

CONS

The sabayon sauce may split if overcooked, so whisking is important to prevent this from happening.
