In this classic Italian dessert, sweet, juicy fruit is enveloped in a rich but impossibly light custard.
Ingredients
- ½ cup strawberries – hulled, halved and sliced
- 1 teaspoon white sugar
- 3 large egg yolks
- 3 tablespoons white sugar
- ¼ cup dry Marsala wine
Directions
Step 1
Gently stir the strawberries and sugar together in a bowl. Cover and let sit at room temperature until juices release, about 1 hour.
Step 2
Divide fruit between 2 small, clear serving bowls or stemmed cocktail glasses.
Step 3
Place egg yolks, sugar, and marsala into metal mixing bowl. Set over burner on low heat. Hold rim of bowl with a potholder. Whisk until mixture forms loose peaks, 7 or 8 minutes. Mixture should feel warm to the touch.
Step 4
Spoon custard over the strawberries. Serve while custard is still warm.
Recipe Tip
Instead of placing the metal mixing bowl over low heat to whisk the custard, you can set the bowl over a pot of slowly simmering water.
