Chocolate Zabaglione

/5

PRESENTATION

Rich chocolate flavor brings this simple Chocolate Zabaglione right to the center of any dessert table—it’s that classic traditional Italian custard with a little chocolate magic. The way it looks, with that smooth, velvety texture and a pretty sheen, really catches everyone’s attention (especially because it’s that deep chocolate color you can’t miss). A warm Chocolate Wine Sauce like this instantly creates a welcoming feeling, whether you want something special for a dinner party or just need an easy treat to end the week on a high note. Kids love dipping strawberries and fresh fruit into this Dessert Fondue, while adults often go for a simple drizzle over good vanilla ice cream or even soft cake. Families look forward to sharing this, since the mix of sweet marsala and semi-sweet chocolate brings everyone together around the table for an enjoyable dessert that actually feels like a treat. That extra bit of richness really makes it stand out from most puddings or toppings—plus, it’s a classic for anyone craving a little Italian sweetness at home.

Home cooks count on this Custard Recipe whenever they need a dessert that’s delicious, a little fancy, but still family-friendly—reliable for birthdays, anniversaries, or just Sunday meals. SO VERSATILE…you’ll find this Italian dessert is always a good idea. Got marinated strawberries? Try them dipped in the zabaglione fondue with friends (kids go wild for this as a fun food night). Works just as well as a sauce for sponge cake, pound cake, or a cool layer in pretty much any Italian Dessert spread. Busy parents really appreciate that it’s just as good served warm as it is chilled, which makes planning ahead easy and flexible for everyone. There’s something special about seeing a bowl of Chocolate Zabaglione at the table—it feels a bit festive, even when life gets busy—and that chocolate flavor with the creamy, soft custard texture is always a hit. For the final touch, a swirl of whipped cream or a handful of fruit (honestly both are great) take it to the next level…that’s comfort food families keep coming back to, no matter what season.

Marsala wine 8 spoonfuls
Sugar 5 tbsp (60 g)
Dark chocolate 2.8 oz (80 g)
Preparation

How to prepare Chocolate Zabaglione

Chop the dark chocolate and set it aside: place the egg yolks and sugar in a stainless steel pan with a handle and thick bottom, and beat the ingredients with an electric mixer (or a whisk) until the mixture becomes fluffy, smooth, and almost white.
Gradually add the Marsala, and when it is well incorporated, introduce the chopped chocolate while continuing to beat.
At this point, place the pan over a bain-marie, and making sure the water never boils, beat the mixture for at least 10 minutes, and in any case until it doubles in volume and results in a smooth and velvety cream.
Remove the pan from the bain-marie, and pour the hot zabaglione into the cups. Serve immediately.

Tip

You can garnish the zabaglione with curls of milk or white chocolate, and accompany it with chocolate cookies or with cat tongues or amaretti cookies.
