How to Make Zabaglione With Fresh Berries

  1. In a heatproof bowl, whisk together 6 large egg yolks, ½ cup granulated sugar, and ¼ cup Marsala wine until light and pale yellow.
  2. Place the bowl over a saucepan of simmering water (make sure the bottom of the bowl doesn't touch the water).
  3. Whisk constantly with a balloon whisk, ensuring the mixture doesn't become too hot. The mixture should reach 165°F (74°C). This will take about 8-12 minutes; be patient, it's worth the wait!
  4. Remove from heat immediately. If desired, gently fold in 6 fl oz of heavy cream whipped to medium peaks.
  5. Cool slightly. To prevent a skin from forming, press plastic wrap directly onto the surface of the zabaglione.
  6. Serve warm or at room temperature. Garnish generously with 2/3 cup of your favorite fresh berries (strawberries, raspberries, blueberries work beautifully).
