Explanation
Zabaione (also spelled zabaglione) is a sweet Italian dessert made from eggs, sugar, and wine or juice, beaten together until it becomes light and creamy. It’s usually served warm, often with fruit or cake. For example, the chef served fresh berries with zabaione on top. It tastes sweet, foamy, and rich, and is sometimes called an Italian custard dessert. It is easy to make and enjoyed in many Italian homes.
