Photo: Chocolate-Almond Zabaglione Recipe
Ingredients
- 4 large egg yolks, at room temperature
- 1/4 cup sugar
- 2 tablespoons almond or nut-flavored liqueur (recommended: Amaretto di Saronna)
- 3 tablespoons unsweetened cocoa powder
- 1 pint fresh raspberries
- 1/4 cup crushed amaretti cookies
- Bittersweet chocolate shavings, garnish
Directions
In the top of a double boiler or in a metal bowl, combine the yolks, sugar, and liqueur until smooth. Set over a pot of barely simmering water and whisk by hand or beat with an electric mixer until pale yellow and foamy and a ribbon forms when the beaters are lifted, 5 to 7 minutes.
Remove from the heat and beat in the cocoa until smooth.
Divide the berries between footed dessert coupe dishes or large tall martini glasses. Top the fruit with the zabaglione and cookies, and garnish with chocolate shavings. Serve immediately.

I tried this last year for valentine's day and was duly impressed! Looked great, tasted even better, and was not complicated at all. Just tried it again and doubled the recipe so as to indulge, but think it better not to do do...not quite as tasty this way. Also, used Frangelico instead of Amaretto b/c I didn't have the other.

I've made this for 3 dinner parties now, and have gotten rave reviews from every person who tastes it. I've doubled and tripled the recipe because the original doesn't make enough. It's easier than it looks! I use cookies with an almond espresso flavor since I couldn't find what it calls for, and left them whole. We use them to dip in the zabaglione, and it's delicious.
