Zabaglione is a wonderful Italian dessert that is rich and custardy and has a taste of “spirits”. There does not seem to be a consensus of opinion about the origin of this dish. Some say Florence, some say Venice, but most agree it came about some time in the 1500’s. The original version is actually thought to have been a drink, rather than something eaten with a spoon. It was primarily wine that was thickened by with the addition of egg yolks.
