Ingredients

6 large egg yolks

1/2 cup sugar

1/2 cup Marsala

Pinch kosher salt

Fresh berries, for serving, optional

Directions

  1. Bring 1-inch of water to a boil in a 4-quart saucepan set over high heat.
  2. Add the egg yolks and sugar to a large glass bowl. Using an electric hand mixer on the highest speed, beat the eggs and sugar until the mixture is thick, pale yellow, and the sugar is completely dissolved, 4 to 5 minutes. Decrease the mixer speed to low and add the Marsala and salt.
  3. Decrease the heat to maintain a simmer and put the bowl atop the saucepan with the boiling water, making sure the bottom of the bowl is not touching the water. Beat the mixture on medium speed, until it is thick, frothy, holds a ribbon, and the temperature reaches 145 to 150 degrees F, on an instant-read thermometer.
  4. Spoon the warm mixture into custard cups or serving glasses and serve immediately or allow to cool slightly. Serve with fresh berries, if desired.

This was a favorite dessert that my Nonnie would make when I was a child. It came out almost as delicious as hers, even with out the extra kisses added (she said were an important part of the recipe!) I do suggest  that you eat it with in a short time of making it as it can begin to separate if left for more than an hour or two.
