Food safety

Caution: medium

Cook the zabaglione to 71°C and serve promptly. Use pasteurized egg yolks when serving people especially vulnerable to foodborne illness. Do not assume the Marsala alcohol has cooked off completely.

Risk factors

  • egg yolks require adequate cooking
  • hot steam and cookware can cause burns
  • some alcohol remains after cooking
