Make-Ahead Zabaglione with Amaretti
- 6 extra-large egg yolks
- 1/2 cup superfine sugar
- 3/4 cup dry Italian Marsala wine, such as Florio
- 1/2 teaspoon pure vanilla extract
- 1/4 teaspoon pure almond extract
- 3/4 cup cold heavy cream
- 4 to 6 (double) Italian Amaretti di Saronno cookies, lightly crushed
- Place the egg yolks, sugar, and Marsala wine in a large heat-proof glass bowl and whisk them together.
- Place the bowl on a pan of simmering water to make a double boiler and whisk the mixture almost constantly for 5 to 7 minutes, until it expands in volume and becomes thickened.
- You'll see the froth disappear and the whisk will leave a little trail in the mixture.
- Don't walk away from it or youll end up with scrambled eggs!
- Off the heat, whisk in the vanilla and almond extracts.
- Set aside for 30 minutes to cool to room temperature, whisking once or twice as it cools.
- Place the cream in the bowl of an electric mixer fitted with the whisk attachment (you can also use a hand mixer) and beat it just until it forms firm peaks.
- With a rubber spatula, carefully fold the cream into the Marsala mixture.
- Spoon half of the mixture into each of 4 or 5 decorative glasses (depending on the size), sprinkle each with 1 tablespoon of crushed Amaretti, and spoon the rest of the mixture on top.
- Sprinkle with the remaining Amaretti crumbs, cover with plastic wrap, and chill for a few hours or overnight.
- Serve cold.
