Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 4 large Egg yolks
- 1/3 cup Granulated sugar
- 1/2 cup Marsala wine
- 1 teaspoon Vanilla extract
- 2 cups Fresh mixed berries (strawberries, blueberries, raspberries, etc.)
- 1 tablespoon Mint leaves
Instructions
Wash and dry the fresh berries, then divide them evenly among 4 dessert glasses or bowls. Set aside.
In a medium-sized metal or heatproof glass bowl, whisk together the egg yolks and granulated sugar until the mixture is pale yellow and slightly thickened, about 2-3 minutes.
Add the Marsala wine and vanilla extract to the egg mixture, whisking until well combined.
Set the bowl over a saucepan with 1-2 inches of barely simmering water, making sure the bottom of the bowl does not touch the water. This creates a double boiler setup.
Whisk the mixture constantly over the simmering water, ensuring you reach all the edges of the bowl to prevent the eggs from scrambling. Continue whisking for about 7-10 minutes, until the mixture thickens and turns silky with a ribbon-like consistency when the whisk is lifted.
Remove the bowl from the heat and continue whisking for another minute to slightly cool the zabaglione.
Spoon the warm zabaglione over the prepared glasses of fresh berries.
Garnish with a sprig of mint leaves for a pop of color and freshness.
Serve immediately while the zabaglione is still warm.
