Berries and Zabaione


One of my favorite desserts of all time when I was growing up was Olive Garden's Berry Zabaione. There was something about that light and airy dessert that made me want to eat every last bit. So since Mary loves fresh fruit as much as me, I decided to make this delicious dessert for her tonight.



Berries and Zabaione

Ingredients
6 egg yolks
2/3 cup sugar
vanilla extract 9 tablespoons
1.5 cups blackberries
1.5 cups blueberries
1.5 cups raspberries

Directions
Beat the yolks and the sugar until the mixture is palest yellow tending towards white, then beat in the vanilla extract and cook over a double boiler. Do not let it reach a boil, but remove it from the fire as soon as it thickens. Whip air into the custard. In a wine glass or glass of choice, layer berries starting with blackberries on the bottom, raspberries in the middle, and blueberries near the top. In between each layer of fruit, scoop in your custard. At the top, mix all the berries together and serve.
