Desserts
Cold Zabaglione
Ingredients
- 6 egg yolks
- 3 tbsp sugar
- ½ cup sweet Marsala wine or sweet sherry
- 1 cup cold heavy cream
- 1 pint optional fresh raspberries or blueberries
Method
- Whisk the egg yolks and sugar together in the top of a double boiler set over simmering water. Continue to whisk gently until the mixture is tepid, then add the Marsala and begin whisking vigorously until the mixture is thick and foamy, 5 to 6 minutes total.
- Whip the cream until soft peaks form. Gently fold the whipped cream into the warm zabaglione until blended. Place in a serving dish. Cover and refrigerate until chilled, about 2 hours. Serve with fresh berries, if desired.
