Instructions
Zabaglione with Mascarpone
- Combine sugar and eggs in a heatproof bowl. Using an electric mixer, whisk until light & foamy and mixture has increased in volume.
- Gradually add 2 tbsp Marsala, whisking continuously for a smooth consistency.
- Place the bowl over a medium size saucepan of gently simmering water. Gently whisk zabaglione until the mixture thickens and forms soft peaks.
- Remove from heat and gently fold in the mascarpone, stir until smooth. Mixture will thicken at room temperature.
Torta di Verona
- Cut Pandoro horizontally into 5cm “star” sections, starting from the base through to the top. We used 4 slices for our dessert.
- Add the largest Pandoro slice to the base of a serving dish. Drizzle with a tablespoon of Amaretto and Marsala wine. Add a generous dollop of the zabaglione & mascarpone mixture, and smear over the slice of pandoro, followed by a spoonful of Amarene cherries.
- Repeat the process until all the layers are assembled, moving from the largest to the smallest on top.
- Garnish the final layer with the caramelised Marcona almonds before serving. Serve the remaining zabaglione & mascarpone mixture on the side.
