Zabaglione - Italian Recipe

Zabaglione

🌍 Italian, Piedmont/National Difficulty: ●●●○○

A Piedmontese warm custard of egg yolks, sugar, and Marsala beaten over simmering water. The bowl must not touch the water — indirect heat is essential. Whisk continuously; stopping for even a moment will scramble the yolks at the bottom.

Ingredients

• 4 egg yolks
• 80g sugar
• 120ml Marsala wine

Method

1. Whisking — Whisk yolks and sugar in heatproof bowl.
2. Setting — Set over simmering water; add Marsala gradually, whisking constantly.
3. Continuing — Continue 10 min until thick, pale, and tripled in volume.
4. Serving — Serve warm in glasses with savoiardi.
