Chocolate Filo Purses With Late Harvest Semillion Sabayon

Makes 8 servings

24 x 7” square sheets of filo pastry
1 cup melted sweet butter
8 tbsp. sugar
8 oz. semi-sweet Belgian chocolate roughly chunked

On a flat dry surface lay out one square of filo pastry & brush lightly with melted butter. Sprinkle with sugar, cover with another layer of filo & repeat butter & sugar. Cover with a third layer of filo. Place approximately 1 ½ oz. of chocolate in the centre of the filo. Gather the filo up like a little purse & pinch together just above the chocolate. Brush with butter & sprinkle with a little more sugar. Keep refrigerated until ready to bake. Repeat this procedure until you have 8 filo purses. Bake at 350 degrees for 15 minutes or until the filo is golden brown. Serve warm with sabayon, fruit coulis, sorbet or crème fraiche.

11 egg yolks
½ cup granulated sugar
¾ cup Late Harvest Semillion
