Whether it’s for a snack or as an end to a meal, the zabaglione is really much loved by Italians.
Its ease and speed of preparation make it perfect for any occasion and for any pastry chef, from the experienced ones to the
beginners. The zabaglione is also perfectly suitable to the personality of those who taste it.
It is possible to flavor it with the addition of so many different ingredients. Possibly correct it with liqueurs or wines of varying intensity.
Perfect in both summer and winter, zabaglione can be enjoyed hot accompanied by cookies/ biscuits
or dry pastries or fresh with gelato and a few tufts of cream.

In this season we certainly appreciate it more hot but honestly it is perfect even cold
prepared in advance for an evening with the family or friends for the exchange of greetings
So why not vary it a little or offer it in two ways. We have already seen traditional zabaglione
in our post but we are also thinking of a variant with chocolate.

Chocolate zabaglione is a variant of the classic zabaglione enriched with dark chocolate
Recipe

Doses for 2 cups
Ingredients

  • 4 Egg Yolks
  • 4 tablespoons Sugar
  • 2 tbs. chopped dark chocolate
    4 tablespoons Marsala
    Preparation
    Chop the dark chocolate and keep it aside
    Combine the egg yolks and sugar in a metal bowl with a rounded bottom or saucepan, mix with a whisk until the ingredients are well blended.
    Add the liqueur and mix until you obtain a frothy mixture.
    Add the chocolate
    Start cooking in a bain-marie, making sure that the water boils slightly and that the saucepan containing the zabaione mixture is not in contact with the water.
    Cook for about 10 minutes, stirring constantly with a whisk, until the zabaglione is thick and creamy.

You can garnish the zabaglione with curls of milk or white chocolate, and accompany it
with cookies or strawberries .
Today we used the fruits of the strawberry tree to decorate it. The flesh of the strawberry tree is yellow, the taste slightly acidic, but still pleasant and goes well with zabaglione. The strawberry tree has many good qualities, full of vitamin C.
We pick them here in December when they are intense red and perfect for the Season

Zabaione has endless possibilities of a quick but tempting dessert.
