Happy Tuesday, everyone! How is everyone’s week going? Now that Monday has passed, I feel like this week is finally under way. To celebrate it no longer being Monday, I’m sharing one of my FAVORITE desserts: Italian zabaglione flavored with vanilla and almond extracts and topped with the most addicting crunchy biscotti crumble.

I think zabaglione is one of those desserts that is scary-sounding. I know that I was always scared of making it, and thus only ever had it when they would spectacularly have it at a restaurant (which is like hardly ever). It was another one of those desserts that I would never make just because of the way it sounded. Just the name “zabaglione” sounds terrifying, doesn’t it?! I felt this same way about pots de creme and panna cotta until I finally made both of them, and then gave myself a good slap on the wrist for judging in the first place.

I know. I need to stop this whole judging desserts thing.

I’m going to keep things short and sweet today, but you guys have to make this zabaglione with biscotti crumble. Pair it with a coffee porter or stout. You will just love it. I know you will. ;)

  1. I’ve tried panna cotta many times before, but I am seriously SO ashamed to say that I have never had a zabaglione in my life! Ummm, that’s changing now because I am literally drooling over how fabulous this looks! All that crumbled up biscotti!!

  2. this looks so sophisticated! The name is hard for me to pronounce so I will me afraid of giving it a try too! But you are right, things was usually simpler than we expect them to! This looks gorgeous, love the addition of biscotti! Nom Nom!

  3. I’ve made panna cotta, but not zabaglione (and I’m having trouble spelling it)! haha This looks incredible, Justine, and the biscotti crumble on top is just perfect!

    My daughter and live about 1000 miles apart. Most Saturdays we cook dinner together. Tonight we are making Marsala chicken and we wanted to keep the theme and make this elegant dessert. Nothing in the recipe instructions does it say that there is separation with the eggs and wine. Is 5his normal? I really hope it turns out. It sounds so amazing.
