Zabaglione
/
I'm on a bit of a desert kick right now... especially creamy deserts! I'll pass up chocolate any day for rich and creamy. My last post was a tasty Pot de Creme. My next post will be a Lime Mousse. But for now, we are talking Zabaglione!
This eggy cloud of deliciousness is a classic Italian custard desert with a fancy name. You are going to be amazed at how easy Zabaglione is to prepare. There are only three main ingredients in this recipe. The key is giving it your full attention which is probably the hardest part for me. My galley is a busy place and I'm usually prepping several things at a time.
I first learned to make this in an Italian cooking series class taught by Jane Boniffazzi. Since then I've probably made enough Zabaglione to fill a boat or at least a dinghy!
