Recipe Summary
Prep Time: 10 minutes
Cook Time: 10 minutes
Total Time: 20 minutes
Servings: 4
Skill Level: Intermediate
Ingredients
- 4 large egg yolks
- 1/4 cup granulated sugar
- 1/2 cup Marsala wine
- 2 cups mixed fresh berries (strawberries, blueberries, raspberries, blackberries)
- Fresh mint leaves, for garnish
Instructions
- Begin by preparing a double boiler: Fill a medium pot with 1 inch of water and bring to a simmer over medium heat.
- In a large heatproof bowl, whisk together the egg yolks and sugar until the mixture is pale and thick.
- Place the bowl over the simmering water, making sure the bottom of the bowl does not touch the water.
- Slowly add the Marsala wine to the egg mixture, whisking constantly. Continue this for about 10 minutes, until the mixture triples in volume and becomes thick and creamy.
- Remove the bowl from the heat and continue to whisk for another minute to ensure the mixture is properly aerated.
- Divide the mixed berries among four serving cups or bowls.
- Spoon the warm Zabaglione over the berries, ensuring an even coating.
- Garnish with fresh mint leaves and serve immediately.
Helpful Tips
Variations: For a non-alcoholic version, substitute Marsala wine with freshly squeezed orange juice.
Beginner Tip: Whisk vigorously to prevent the eggs from curdling, ensuring a smooth, creamy texture.
Storage Instructions
While Zabaglione is best enjoyed fresh, you can store it in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 24 hours. Note that the texture may change upon refrigeration.
Pairings
This Zabaglione pairs beautifully with a light almond biscotti or crispy ladyfingers. Complement the dessert with a hot cup of espresso or a delicate glass of Muscat wine.
