Zabaglione
Zabaione (written also Zabajone
IPA: [dzɑbɑˈjɔnɛ]), or Zabaglione (
IPA: [dzɑbɑˈʎɔnɛ]), is an
Italian dessert made with
egg yolks,
sugar, a sweet
liquor (usually
Marsala wine), and sometimes one of
cream,
mascarpone, or whole eggs. It is a very light
custard, which has been
whipped to incorporate a large amount of air. Zabaglione is traditionally served with fresh
figs and is sometimes also spelled sabayon, while its real Italian name is zabaione (or zabajone, which is an archaic form). It is also popular in Argentina, where it is known as sambayón. In Colombia, it's known as sabajón. In Venezuela, a related egg-based dessert drink is called ponche de crema.
