Chocolate Zabaione
Category: Desserts
Serves: 4
Ingredients:
| Ingredient | Quantity |
|---|---|
| Egg yolks | 4 |
| Marsala wine | 8 tbsp |
| Sugar | 60g |
| Dark chocolate (finely chopped) | 80g |
Instructions:
- Begin by finely chopping the dark chocolate and setting it aside for later use.
- In a heavy-bottomed saucepan with a sturdy handle, combine the egg yolks and sugar. Using an electric whisk (or a traditional whisk if preferred), vigorously beat the mixture until it becomes smooth, fluffy, and almost white in color.
- Gradually add the Marsala wine, pouring it slowly into the mixture while continuing to whisk until the ingredients are well combined.
- Once the Marsala is fully incorporated, fold in the finely chopped dark chocolate, continuing to whisk until the chocolate is completely melted and evenly distributed throughout the mixture.
- Place the saucepan over a double boiler, making sure the water does not come to a boil, and gently continue whisking the mixture for at least 10 minutes. Keep whisking until the mixture has doubled in volume and forms a smooth, velvety custard-like cream.
- Remove the saucepan from the double boiler, and carefully pour the warm zabaione into individual serving cups or bowls.
- Serve immediately for the best texture and flavor.
This indulgent and creamy chocolate zabaione is perfect for a special occasion or a comforting treat to end a meal. The rich, velvety texture of the custard pairs beautifully with the depth of dark chocolate and the warmth of Marsala wine, creating a luxurious dessert experience. Enjoy!
