Classic Marsala Sabayon

Follow our step-by-step guide on how to make Classic Marsala Sabayon.

1. Step 1

   To start your delicious sabayon, fill a saucepan with a few inches of water and bring it to a lively boil.

2. Step 2

   Once the water is bubbling away, lower the heat to medium-low to create a gentle simmer.

3. Step 3

   Next, grab a large heat-proof bowl and combine the egg yolks, a splash of water, Marsala wine, and sugar.

4. Step 4

   Carefully place this bowl over the simmering water, making sure it doesn’t touch the water itself—this is key to achieving that perfect texture.

5. Step 5

   Now, using a balloon whisk, stir the mixture continuously.

6. Step 6

   You’ll want to keep whisking until the sugar dissolves completely and the mixture starts to thicken, which should take about two minutes.

7. Step 7

   As you continue to whisk, keep an eye on the texture; you’re aiming for a light, mousse-like consistency that holds its shape.

8. Step 8

   This process will take around 15 to 20 minutes, so be patient! Occasionally lift the bowl to let some steam escape, which helps prevent the eggs from overcooking.

9. Step 9

   Once your sabayon is ready, serve it right away for the best experience.

10. Step 10

    It’s delightful on its own or drizzled over fresh fruits, making for a truly indulgent treat.
