Recipe: Cold Zabaglione with Strawberries

This is a great dessert that can be prepared ahead… serve with or without fruit …it’s divine… I’ve made it for years… the recipe is from an old book I have called “The Desserts Cookbook” by Elizabeth Pomeroy, published by Hennerwood Publications Limited…. I regularly use numerous recipes from that book…it’s a very good dessert cookbook.

Enjoy!

Cold Zabaglione with Strawberries Recipe

All you need:

6 egg yolks
Scant ½ cup sugar
Finely grated rind of 1 orange
2/3 cup of Marsala or white wine (I use Marsala)
¼ cup heavy cream
Strawberries, sliced

All you need to do:

Beat the egg yolks with the sugar and orange rind until white, then beat in wine.

Place the bowl over a saucepan of simmering water and continue beating until the mixture thickens and falls in ribbons from the beater.

Remove from the heat and place in a bowl of iced water and continue beating until cold.

Very lightly whisk the cream with a fork and fold into the mixture.

Fill a 1/3 of a goblet, then top with fresh sliced strawberries…fill another 1/3 with the Zabaglione…top with fresh strawberries…fill goblet with the Zabaglione.

Chill in the refrigerator until needed… Garnish with strawberries.
