Zabaglione

Directions

1. 1
   Place the egg yolks and the sugar in top of a double boiler and place on top of the bottom of the boiler.
2. 2
   The water should be lightly boiling and the should not be touching the bottom of the top of the boiler. (You can also use a bowl over a large pot of boiling water. ).
3. 3
   Use a wire whisk and whip the mixture until it is foamy. (I'm planing to use my electric mixer.).
4. 4
   Then add the Marsala and continue to cook the mixture until it has doubled in volume.
5. 5
   Use an instant-read thermometer to insure the mixture has reached 140 degrees. A MUST.
6. 6
   Beat the mixture for additional minute or two.
7. 7
   Serve the zabaglione immediately.
8. 8
   This dish looks quite elegant served in long stemmed wine or parfait glasses.
9. 9
   I see other recipes will use a savoiardi cookie for garnish.
