Farmer’s Market Fruit with Warm Tequila-Lime “Espuma” (Fruta de la Temporada con Espuma de Limón y Tequila)
- Cuisine
- Mexican
Ingredients
- About 1 pound perfectly ripe, in-season fruit (berries, stone fruits—they all work), washed and pitted if necessary
- 4 egg yolks
- 1/4 cup sugar
- 2 tablespoons fresh orange juice
- 2 tablespoons lime juice
- 1/4 cup tequila
- Grated zest of 1/2 lime
- Shortbread cookies, candied almonds or anything else crisp and sweet, for serving
Steps
- 1
Slice the fruit if necessary and divide it among four individual shallow serving bowls. Fill a large (4-quart) saucepan with 1 inch of water and set it over medium-high heat.
- 2
In a stainless steel bowl big enough to rest at least half way into the saucepan, whisk together the egg yolks, sugar, juices, tequila and lime zest.

When the water reaches a boil, lower the heat so it is at a low simmer. Nestle the bowl into the saucepan. Whisk the yolk mixture continuously, until it becomes thick and fluffy, about 3 minutes. Remove the bowl from the saucepan. Drape a few spoonfuls of the warm “espuma” over the fruit in each bowl and serve immediately with something crunchy and sweet crumbled on top.
