Zabaione ( liquid egg custard ) original Italian recipe

[Lunatango1]

My mom used to make this once in a while for breakfast for me when I was young (some years ago ...), with some marsala all'uovo ..... (instead of the wine). We used to dip our toasts in it. It was delicious :) The more usual breakfast when she used eggs was whole eggs beaten the same way, with sugar and a little bit of marsala as well.

Hello and thanks for the recipe!! You say in the end that we can use the custard to make a tiramisu. How do you mean? We use the custard as base and then add mascarpone and it's done?

Hi Sonia dear,,, if do not want to put the Wine.... what should i put in replace of it???

[yellowsaffron]

@showhaa Hi, you can avoid the wine and use any extract you like

[luveijoo]

ohhh no I don't drink so can't use wine is there an alternate to wine...

[yellowsaffron]

@luveijoo You can avoid the wine and use any extract you like (vanilla, almond, etc...)

[luveijoo]

@yellowsaffron thank you so much for the reply !!! love ur recipes...

[EditorSEM]

@yellowsaffron -- would you still need to use 8 Tbsp of extract?? Or could water or milk be substituted with the extract to reach the right consistency?

[yellowsaffron]

@EditorSEM Usually few drops of extract are enough...

[EditorSEM]

@yellowsaffron --wow, quick response! Thank you! It has nothing to do with consistency, then? Good to know. Thanks so much. :)

[yellowsaffron]

@EditorSEM No, just with flavour. You're welcome!

Well, now I've seen this spelled 400 different ways and counting, which is funny.

"Eggnog" as we know it in GB and the Americas, usually has heavy cream or milk in it and is much spicier with stronger alcohol than this lovely Italian favorite. I WILL use a hand mixer from now on. Goodness, I love this channel, always something to learn I'll actually use!

[leefuji]

ok the smaller pan looks like its totally touching the water because they are almost the same size . how many cups of boiling water is in that bigger pan ?

[yellowsaffron]

@leefuji It depends on the size of your pans, but the smaller one must not touch the water

[leefuji]

@yellowsaffron cool , thanks !

Looks good, reminds me of egg nogg

[raffy7things]

Wow sono italiano ma è bellissimo sentirti parlare inglese..

Wow! I'm Italian but is beautiful eating these recipes in English!

[moofushu]

This recipe reminds me of a drink that has eggs in it and found in South America. It's called "ponche" and it's really good but it's not yellow, it's white. If I knew how to make it I would make gallons of it and not share! :)

[HeartDokidoki]

Can you substituted the wine with something because I want to make some for my little cousins.

[Bravo21]

@HeartDokidoki Yes, this is the Classic recipe, but there are many many variations. The most common variations are citrus flavors like Orange or Lemon, espresso, mocha, chocolate and Vanilla. There should be posting here of the recipe, or search Google.

[yellowsaffron]

@HeartDokidoki Yes, you can avoid the wine, or use very little

[axim81]

@yellowsaffron ................If i choose to avoid the wine then i will be using what instead??????

[yellowsaffron]

@axim81 Nothing, it's good anyway... or few drops of extract (any flavour you like)

[chris7toronto]

I love the professional look of this show! Very well done!

[antonb000]

i'm gonna smack the next person who asks if they can make it without wine

[FoodFling]

The yellow color is sooo beautiful.

[N6600]

Is this also what's called an "Eggnog"?

[miloshpetrik]

@N6600 "Eggnog" is Old English for "egg cup", or custard.

[N6600]

@miloshpetrik Thank you.

[yellowsaffron]

@N6600 I think the eggnog is much more alcoholic and spicy

[ItsEryk]

Looks really nice and original. :)
