Seductive Strawberry Zabaglione

---

Gentlemen: Whether you intend to surprise your love with reservations at her favorite restaurant or make a romantic dinner for two at home, you've got to make her Seductive Strawberry Zabaglione for dessert. Red, ripe strawberries, velvety custard and sweet Italian wine are so sensuous.

I developed this recipe with men in mind because it's easy to make, allows you to flex some muscle, which will impress her, and makes an elegant presentation. Think of it as a minimal-effort dessert with maximum sex appeal. Although I wouldn't carry that thinking into the bedroom. I'm just saying.

Seductive Strawberry Zabaglione

Makes 2 servings.

2 martini glasses

10-12 fresh strawberries, thinly sliced (see note)

2 large egg yolks

2 tablespoons sugar

2 tablespoons sweet Marsala wine (see note)

 

1. Divide sliced strawberries evenly among two martini glasses. Set aside.

2. In a large metal or glass bowl, vigorously whisk 2 large egg yolks, 2 tablespoons sugar, and 2 tablespoons sweet Marsala wine until combined. Place the bowl over a saucepan filled with 1-2 inches of simmering water, making sure the bottom of the bowl doesn't touch the water. Continue to whisk until doubled in volume and thick, about 4-5 minutes. Spoon over berries.

Garnish with fresh mint and serve.

Note: You can substitute champagne for the Marsala wine if you think it's more romantic, but the Marsala's flavor is fuller and sexier. You can also substitute raspberries if you prefer.

Dessert, Italian
