This classic Italian dessert is traditionally made with egg yolks, sugar and Marsala, and is also known as zabaione, zabajone – or in France – sabayon. It can take a little while to make but when served warm it is absolutely gorgeous!

How to Make Low Carb Zabaglione

Add egg yolks, low carb sweetener (eg Lakanto or granular Swerve) and Marsala wine to a bowl. Make sure that you do not use Marsala cooking wine as this a different product that contains a lot of sugar! To separate the eggs I use a little plastic egg separator that clips over the side of a small bowl. It really works!

Place the bowl over a saucepan of simmering water to make a bain marie (like a double boiler). Use a balloon whisk to combine the mixture then keep whisking over the low heat.

The mixture will get frothier and expand in size. Keep whisking for several minutes! Note: You could use an electric hand mixer but only if it has a super low speed setting! You are aiming for somewhere between a foam and a custard. It will be soft with a luxurious feel to it. Utterly decadent!

Serve in small bowls or glasses (I used shot glasses!) with a little dusting of cocoa powder.
