Wash and hull the strawberries. Cut them into halves or quarters depending on their size, then set them aside in a serving bowl.
In a large heatproof bowl, whisk together the egg yolks and granulated sugar until the mixture is pale and creamy, about 2-3 minutes.
Add the dark rum to the egg mixture and whisk until well combined.
Place the bowl over a saucepan of gently simmering water, ensuring the bottom of the bowl does not touch the water. Whisk the mixture continuously for about 7-10 minutes until it thickens, becomes frothy, and reaches a smooth consistency. Remove from heat and let it cool slightly.
In a separate mixing bowl, whip the heavy cream with the vanilla extract until it holds soft peaks.
Once the zabaglione mixture has cooled slightly, gently fold in the whipped cream to create a light and airy consistency.
Divide the strawberries among serving glasses or bowls, spoon the rum zabaglione over the top, and garnish with crushed amaretti cookies.
If desired, sprinkle with a light dusting of powdered sugar for extra elegance before serving.
Serve immediately and enjoy!
