Zabaglione Recipe

2

Ingredients

Caution!
Under no circumstances can you stop whisking/stirring once preparation has begun; if you do Kurds will develop and you must throw it away and start over.
4 egg yolks
2 tablespoons sugar
1/3 cup Marsala

Preparation

Step 1

1. Combine ingredients in a bowl or top of double boiler and place over barely simmering water whisking constantly with a French whip.
2. You can also use an electric beater and get the same result.
3. Do not let the water boil.
4. In 10 minutes or less the Zabaglione will be thick and foamy with a rich ivory gold color.
5. Pour it into two stemmed glasses and enjoy it while it is still warm.

Marsala is sometimes hard to find. Cream Sherry will do in a pinch, as will some very old Madeira, if you're feeling reckless. Some people make it with Muscatel, but I wouldn't.

Good over fruit and/or fruit that is just barely frozen like grapes, dusted in white sugar.
