Zabaione or Zabaglione
Whipped  Egg with Marsala


5 egg yolks
1 egg
50g castor (US granulated) sugar
150 ml Marsala (1/4 pint or US 5/8 cup)

 

  1.  Put yolks, egg and sugar in the top of a double boiler over simmering water. Beat with a whisk until pale, yellow and fluffy.

  2.  Gradually add the Marsala and continue beating until thick enough to hold the shape of the spoon. This takes about 10 minutes.

  3.  Spoon into individual serving dishes (tall conical glasses even a champagne flute look great)

  Note instead of a double boiler a bowl placed over the top of a saucepan 1/3 full of water is OK. But the water must not touch the bowl.
