Method

Zabaione Preparation

  1. 1

    Prepare the Zabaione

    In a heatproof bowl, whisk together egg yolks, sugar, lemon juice, lemon zest, and Marsala wine until well combined.

  2. 2

    Cook the Mixture

    Place the bowl over a pot of simmering water (double boiler) and continue whisking constantly until the mixture thickens and doubles in volume, about 8-10 minutes.

  3. 3

    Remove from Heat

    Once thickened, remove the bowl from the heat and let it cool slightly.

Strawberry Preparation

    Prepare the Strawberries

    In a bowl, combine fresh strawberries with sugar and let them macerate for about 10 minutes to release their juices.

  2. 5

    Add Mint

    Tear the mint leaves and gently fold them into the macerated strawberries.

Serving

  1. 6

    Plate the Dessert

    Spoon the lemon zabaione into serving dishes and top with the macerated strawberries and mint.
