Classic Italian Zabaglione Recipe
Classic Italian Zabaglione is a light, creamy Italian dessert made by gently whisking egg yolks, sugar, and Marsala wine over simmering water until thick, airy, and silky. It's a simple, elegant dessert that's delicious served warm with fresh berries, fruit, or crisp cookies.
Ingredients
- 4 egg yolks
- 1/2 cup of sugar
- 1/2 cup marsala wine
- A few lady fingers for topping
Instructions
- Prepare a Bain- Marie: In a heat proof bowl over simmering water add the egg yolks and sugar beating continuously.
- Add the wine and vanilla continue beating until well blended and the zabaglione begins to thicken into a foamy custard
- Put some fresh berries in a martini glass
- pour the zabaglione over the berries, top with crushed lady fingers.
Notes
Whisk constantly while cooking over gentle heat and don't allow the bottom of the bowl to touch the simmering water. This keeps the egg yolks from scrambling and creates a smooth, airy zabaglione.
