Zabaglione

Recipe

Zabaglione

A light, whipped Italian custard with a creamy texture and gentle sweetness. It is a traditional dessert that feels simple, elegant, and distinctly Italian.

Instructions

  1. Step 1

    Fill the saucepan with enough water to sit below the bowl, then bring it to a gentle simmer over low heat.

    Cookware: saucepan — low heat

  2. Step 2

    Whisk the room-temperature egg yolk, sugar, and Marsala wine together in the heatproof mixing bowl until smooth and lightly foamy.

    Ingredients used: 108.0 gr Egg Yolk, 90.0 ml Marsala Wine, 75.0 gr Sugar

    Cookware: heatproof mixing bowl, whisk

  3. Step 3

    Set the bowl over the simmering saucepan without letting its base touch the water, and whisk constantly for 8 minutes. Continue until the zabaglione is pale, thick, steaming, and falls from the whisk in a ribbon that briefly holds its shape.

    Cookware: heatproof mixing bowl — over simmering water, saucepan — low heat, whisk

  4. Step 4

    Remove the bowl from the saucepan and serve the zabaglione warm immediately from the bowl.
