Zabaione
One serving has 362 kcal and 9 g protein, and at least a fifth of a woman's daily need of choline (78%), selenium (41%), cobalamin (39%), pantothenic acid (29%), phosphorus (28%) and riboflavin (28%). Ready in 15 minutes.
- Preparation: 5 min
- Cooking: 10 min
- Makes: 1 serving (125 g)
- Difficulty: Medium
- Diets: Vegetarian, Dairy-free
- Contains: alcohol, egg, gluten, sulphite
Ingredients
- 40 g Egg yolks, raw
- 25 g Sugar
- 40 g Wine, fortified, sweet
- 20 g Ladyfingers
Method
- Put the egg yolks, sugar and Marsala wine in a heatproof bowl and set it over a pan of gently simmering water, making sure the bowl doesn't touch the water.
- Whisk constantly for 6-8 minutes until the mixture triples in volume and turns pale, thick and foamy; this steady heat also cooks the yolks to a safe, thickened stage (this dessert contains cooked but still soft egg yolk, so it is not recommended for the very young, elderly, pregnant or otherwise vulnerable).
- As soon as it holds a ribbon trail when drizzled from the whisk, remove from the heat.
- Pour into a warm glass and serve immediately with the ladyfingers for dipping, as zabaione is best eaten while still warm and light.
