Roasted Garlic Sabayon

Submitted by Queen Dragon Mom

"I have no idea where this recipe came from. I have had it for years, though. It is great on grilled chicken breasts or roast fowl. The yield depends on the volume of the whipped cream, approximately 2 cups. Preparation time includes roasting the garlic and whipping the cream."
