Steps:

• In a copper pan with a rounded bottom, whisk together the yolks and sugar. Set the pan over simmering (not boiling) water or directly over a low flame, if you dare, and continue to whisk while you cook it until thick and pale yellow. Add the wine gradually as you whisk and continue to cook until light and fluffy, about 4 to 6 minutes. Divide the berries among 4 stemmed glasses and pour the hot zabaglione over them.

Steps:

• Have ready an instant-read thermometer in a cup of hot water. In a metal bowl with a whisk or a hand-held electric mixer beat together all ingredients until combined well. Set bowl over a saucepan of barely simmering water and beat mixture until tripled in volume and thermometer registers 140°F, about 5 minutes. To ensure that eggs are cooked, beat mixture 3 minutes more.
• Serve zabaglione immediately.

Steps:

• Combine the egg yolks, sugar, and Marsala in a bowl. Whip together, using a hand-held balloon whisk, until thoroughly blended. Place the bowl over a pot of simmering water and heat, whisking constantly, until the mixture is thick, foamy and has reached 165 degrees F.
• Cool slightly and serve immediately or transfer the zabaglione to a container. Cover with plastic wrap placed directly on the surface to prevent a skin from forming. Zabaglione may be served warm or at room temperature.
• Serving Size: 1/2 cup zabaglione with 2/3 cup berries.
