This classic Piedmontese recipe is said to be named after the patron saint of pâtissiers, San Giovanni di Baglion. It’s a terrific dessert and very simple to make. This version is one of the oldest, dating back to a chef of King Carlo Emanuele I of Italy.

Ingredients

  • 180 g caster sugar
  • 12 egg yolks
  • 100 ml

Method

Beat the sugar and eggs together (preferably in a round-bottomed copper bowl), using a balloon whisk, to a whitish foam. Add the fortified wine and cinnamon and mix well.

Stand the bowl over a pan of gently simmering water on a low heat and continue to beat and stir until you have a thick, almost firm, foam. Pour into glasses.

Serve at once, while still warm, accompanied by deli
