Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 6 large Egg yolks
- 100 grams Granulated sugar
- 120 milliliters Marsala wine
- 200 milliliters Whipped cream
- 1 teaspoon Vanilla extract (optional)
- 100 grams Fresh berries (optional, for garnish)
Instructions
Fill a medium saucepan with about 2 inches of water and bring it to a gentle simmer. Place a medium-sized metal or heatproof glass bowl on top of the saucepan to create a double boiler, ensuring the bottom of the bowl does not touch the water.
In the bowl, whisk together the egg yolks and sugar until the mixture is light, pale, and fluffy, about 2-3 minutes.
Gradually whisk in the Marsala wine and vanilla extract (if using), continuing to whisk until fully incorporated.
Place the bowl over the simmering water and continue whisking constantly for about 10-12 minutes, or until the mixture thickens to the consistency of a custard and becomes foamy. Be cautious not to overheat, as the eggs can scramble if the mixture gets too hot.
Once thickened, remove the bowl from the heat and allow the zabaglione to cool to room temperature, stirring occasionally to prevent a skin from forming.
In a separate bowl, gently fold the whipped cream into the cooled zabaglione until smooth and well combined. Be careful not to deflate the mixture.
Divide the cold zabaglione evenly among serving glasses or bowls and chill in the refrigerator for at least 2 hours to allow the flavors to meld.
Before serving, garnish with fresh berries (if desired). Serve immediately and enjoy!
