Zabaglione is a rich and creamy Italian custard dessert made with egg yolks, sugar, and a non-alcoholic beverage. It’s served warm, often topped with fresh fruit and zest, creating a deliciously smooth treat perfect for any occasion.

Ingredients

6 large egg yolks

½ cup granulated sugar

½ cup of your chosen halal substitute (such as apple juice or any suitable non-alcoholic beverage)

½ teaspoon vanilla extract (optional)

Fresh strawberries or mixed berries

Lemon zest (optional)

Instructions

  1. Set Up the Double Boiler: Fill a medium saucepan with about 1 inch of water and bring it to a gentle simmer. In a large heatproof glass or metal bowl, whisk together the egg yolks and sugar for about 2-3 minutes until the mixture is thick and pale yellow.
  2. Add the Substitution: Gradually whisk in your chosen substitute (apple juice or similar non-alcoholic beverage), adding a little at a time, ensuring it incorporates fully without cooking the eggs prematurely.
  3. Cook the Zabaglione: Place the bowl over the saucepan of simmering water, ensuring the bowl’s bottom doesn’t touch the water. Whisk constantly for 8-10 minutes until the mixture thickens and becomes frothy. It should form soft peaks when the whisk is lifted.
  4. Finish and Serve: Once thickened, remove the bowl from heat. Stir in the vanilla extract. Spoon the zabaglione into serving glasses and garnish with fresh berries and a touch of lemon zest. Serve immediately for the best texture and flavor.

Notes

Fruit Options: Garnish with peaches, cherries, or other stone fruits for a different flavor.

Lemon Zest: Add lemon juice for a tangy balance to the sweetness of the custard.
