Zabaglione Light

Zabaglione Light is a delightful Italian dessert that combines the smooth richness of egg yolks with the lightness of whipped egg whites, creating a high-protein treat. This airy custard is naturally sweetened and perfect for a light finish to any meal.

Ingredients

• Egg yolks - 2 large
• Egg whites - 2 large
• Honey - 2 tablespoons (30 ml)
• Marsala wine - 2 tablespoons (30 ml)
• Vanilla extract - 1 teaspoon (5 ml)
• Fresh berries (strawberries, raspberries, or blueberries) - 100 grams

Steps

1. In a medium heatproof bowl, whisk together the egg yolks, honey, Marsala wine, and vanilla extract until well combined.
2. Place the bowl over a pot of simmering water (double boiler) and continue to whisk the mixture constantly until it thickens and becomes creamy, about 8-10 minutes.
3. Remove the bowl from the heat and let it cool slightly.
4. In a separate clean bowl, whip the egg whites until soft peaks form.
5. Gently fold the whipped egg whites into the cooled zabaglione mixture until well combined, being careful not to deflate the whites.
6. Divide the zabaglione into serving glasses and top with fresh berries.
7. Serve immediately or chill in the refrigerator for up to 30 minutes before serving.
