Directions

-
In a separate chilled bowl, whip the heavy cream until stiff peaks form.
-
Gently fold the cooled zabaglione mixture into the whipped cream until just combined.
-
Stir in Amaretto, lemon juice, and lemon zest.

Divide the mixture evenly among 6 serving glasses or bowls.

Cover and freeze for at least 3 hours, or until firm.

Just before serving, top each portion with toasted slivered almonds.

Note
Toast the slivered almonds in a dry skillet over medium heat for 2-3 minutes until fragrant before garnishing.
Ensure the egg yolk mixture reaches at least 160ðF to safely pasteurize the eggs.
For a non-alcoholic version, substitute the Marsala wine with grape juice or orange juice, and omit the Amaretto or use almond extract.
Store any leftovers in the freezer covered with plastic wrap for up to 2 weeks. Let sit at room temperature for 5-10 minutes before serving if too firm.
