Notes

  • Traditionally Zabaglione is made with Marsala, but you can use Madeira, Sherry, Port or any other sweet wine. It is recommended that you use a dry wine, that is not too sweet, if you do use a sweet wine then you should cut back a bit on the sugar. Since Marsala is a big part of the dessert then be sure to choose a good quality brand.
  • It is always best served warm or room temperature but it will keep wrapped tightly in plastic wrap or in an airtight container for up to 3-4 days in the fridge.
  • It should be stored in the fridge in an airtight container or the glasses or dishes covered tightly in plastic wrap. It will keep for up to 3-4 days in the fridge. Before serving it is best to whisk it together for a minute or two.
