Instructions
- Heat a large pot halfway with water. Your mixing bowl should be able to sit on top of it without touching the water.
- Add the egg yolks and sugar to a large mixing bowl. Whisk together with an electric whisk until pale and thick.
- Place the bowl on top of the pot of hot water making sure the bowl doesn't touch the water.
- Add the marsala and continuously mix with a hand whisk until the mixture has doubled in size and thickened into a custard (this can take 5-10 minutes).
- The zabaglione is ready when you can draw a ribbon that holds its shape for a few seconds. If it disappears immediately it's not ready, turn up the heat and keep whisking.
- Once ready, pour into serving glasses and serve immediately with Savoiardi biscuits or fruit or chill in the fridge until ready to serve.
Notes
- Remember the ratio - for every medium egg yolk add 1 tablespoon of sugar and 1 tablespoon of Marsala. If you don't want as much alcohol you can reduce it to 1/2 tablespoon.
- Use a large heatproof bowl - the mixture will double in size when heated so it's important to use a bowl that will be big enough.
- Don't let the bowl touch the water - the water will get very hot so don't let the bowl touch the water or the eggs will overcook.
- Keep stirring - don't let the egg mixture sit for more than a few seconds or the eggs will start to scramble.
- Add espresso - you can also add a shot of espresso as well as or instead of the marsala.
- Serve warm or chilled from the fridge. The zabaglione will keep well in the fridge for up to 3 days.
