Zabaglione can be made for fewer or more servings. As a rule, allow 1 egg yolk, 1 tablespoon sugar and 1–2 tablespoons wine per person.
Ingredients
4 50 g 2 oz 4–6 tablespoons - sponge fingers
Method
Put the egg yolks in a medium-sized mixing basin. Add the sugar and Marsala wine or sweet sherry to the egg yolks. Place the bowl over a saucepan half filled with simmering water and whisk continuously over the heat until the mixture is thick and light – this takes about 5 minutes.
Remove from the heat and pour into four individual goblets. Serve with sponge fingers.
