Recipe: Zabaglione

Zabaglione

Total time: 15 minutes

Note: For a more traditional zabaglione, increase the Marsala wine and decrease the white wine, keeping the total amount of wine at one-half cup.

Servings: 2

4 egg yolks

6 tablespoons sugar, more or less as desired

1/4 cup plus 2 tablespoons dry white wine

2 tablespoons Marsala wine

1. In a large bowl, whisk together the egg yolks and sugar until combined and frothy. Whisk in the white wine and the Marsala.

2. Set the bowl over a large pot of simmering water, making sure the bottom of the bowl does not touch the water. Continue to whisk until the mixture increases in volume and thickens to a thick, foamy cream, easily coating the back of a spoon. The final consistency should be similar to that of a very thick hollandaise.

3. Remove from heat and serve immediately. This makes a generous cup of zabaglione.
