Daily Excerpt from Diary of a Tuscan Chef!

Today's excerpt form Diary of a Tuscan Chef is the recipe for Frutti di Bosco con Zabaglione, which is a delicious dish of summer berries with zabaglione. This dessert is perfect for the summer time when berries are in season and a sweet dessert is the perfect way to end a meal on a warm day.

Frutti di Bosco con Zabaglione
Summer Beries with Zabaglione
(SERVES 4)

4 egg yolks
¼ cup sugar
1 ¼ cups Vin Santo or dry Marsala
4 cups raspberries or other fresh berries

Place the egg yolks, sugar, and Vin Santo or Marsala in the top of a double boiler over simmering water, and beat with a wire whisk until the mixture becomes thick and creamy and doubles in volume. (The zabaglione must not be made over direct heat. If you don’t have a double boiler, bring water to a simmer in a saucepan and beat the zabaglione in another pan, over the simmering water.) It will take about 5 minutes.
Spoon the berries into individual serving dishes, pour the zabaglione on top, and serve.
