Method

In a heatproof bowl, beat the egg yolks, sugar, and salt until light. Put the bowl over a saucepan of simmering water (not touching the water) and whisk in the Muscat and kirsch. Continue whisking and turning the bowl until the mixture mounds and quadruples in volume. There should be no liquid visible and the mixture should be thick and the consistency of whipped cream. Serve immediately.
