Zabaglione

Zabaione (written also sabayon, or zabajone, zabaglione, or ), is an Italian dessert, or sometimes a beverage, made with egg yolks, sugar, a sweet wine (usually Marsala wine, but in the original formula Moscato d'Asti), and sometimes whole eggs. The dessert version is a light custard, whipped to incorporate a large amount of air. Since the 1960s, in restaurants in U.S. areas where large Italian populations exist, zabaglione is usually served with strawberries, blueberries, peaches, etc. in a champagne glass. In France, it is called sabayon, while its true Italian name is zabaione or zabaglione (or zabajone, an archaic spelling).
