Marsala Zabaione with Chocolate Shavings

Today I talk about marsala zabaione (eggnog), a spoon dessert of Italian origin among the most known and appreciated in the world.

Egg yolk, sugar, and fortified wine ( like Marsala) are all you need to create this magical cream with a light yellowish color and a strong taste.

Chocolate shavings may be a good topping but otherwise, I suggest, for the same amount of goodness, a sprinkling of coffee grounds.

It is a widespread preparation both in-home cooking and in the kitchens of chefs from all over Europe.

It is found among the grandmother’s recipes, thus evoking memories of childhood.

It can in fact be offered on its own as a spoon dessert, along with crunchy biscuits or even accompanied by a liqueur. it can also be used as a filling in other desserts or cakes.
