Instructions

1. Roast the almond flakes in a pan without fat and then set aside.
2. Carefully wash the figs, pat dry and, depending on the size, quarter or eighth lengthways. Arrange on four dessert plates.
3. Bring some water to the boil in a saucepan. For the zabaione, mix the egg yolks with the wine, lemon juice and sugar in a heat-resistant bowl. Place on the hot water bath and beat with the whisk of the hand mixer for about 5 minutes, heating until it becomes airy and frothy. The foam must not get too hot, otherwise the yolk will stagnate.
4. Drizzle the zabaione over the figs, spoon by spoon. Sprinkle with the flaked almonds and serve immediately.
5. Tip: If you want an even more intense almond flavor, you can mix 1 teaspoon almond butter into the egg yolk.
