Cherry-Infused Brandy Zabaglione

A unique twist on the classic Italian dessert. Traditionally made with Marsala wine, I swapped in cherry-infused brandy for a rich, fruity depth inspired by an authentic Italian recipe.

Zabaglione differs from eggnog in its texture and preparation. While eggnog is a creamy drink made with milk or cream, Zabaglione is a light, airy custard made by whisking egg yolks, sugar, and wine (or brandy!) over heat. If you’re looking for something different than eggnog this holiday season, give this elegant treat a try - Serve it warm or chilled with chocolate and lady fingers for a decadent holiday treat!
