Zabaione for Cantucci
Servings: 1 per person, Ingredients (per serving)
Place the egg yolk in a large metal bowl.
Pour the sugar and Marsala wine over the yolk.
Whisk the mixture for 10 seconds to combine.
Set the bowl on a pot of boiling water, ensuring it rests stably (choose a pan with a slightly smaller diameter than the bowl so that only steam contacts the bottom).
Cook the mixture using the steam (bagno maria technique), stirring constantly until it becomes airy and doubles in volume.
Remove the bowl from the heat and let the zabaione cool.
Serve with whipped cream and a dusting of cocoa to taste.
