Note
It is crucial to whisk constantly and keep the heat gentle to prevent the eggs from scrambling. If the mixture becomes too hot, remove it from the heat briefly until it cools slightly, then return to heat.
Traditional zabaglione often uses Marsala wine, but sweet white wines like Moscato or Riesling also work beautifully.
Serve this dessert immediately while warm for the best texture and flavor.
