Rum Sabayon Sauce


I don't usually eat fruit for dessert (i like my desserts to be as unhealthy as possible, apparently). If this sauce is served with it, though, i'm pretty thrilled to have fruit for a treat...maybe because it stops being healthy once it's smothered in a rum custard sauce? this makes 1 1/2 cups of sauce.

Steps


Whisk together all of the ingredients in a double boiler.
Heat the sauce , whisking continuously , for about 5 minutes , just until it thickens.
Remove from the heat.
Serve warm or chilled -- both ways are good !.

Ingredients


eggs, egg yolks, rum, sugar, fresh lemon juice
