Zabaglione is a light, foamy Italian dessert custard made with egg yolks, sugar, and sweet wine (usually Marsala). It is whisked over gentle heat until velvety and airy, often served warm or chilled with fruit. The term also denotes the resulting custard consistency, which is rich, silky, and custardy rather than heavy. It’s a refined dessert associated with Italian culinary tradition and wine-forward flavor.
