Ingredients

• 4 Egg yolks
• 75 grams Granulated sugar
• 120 milliliters Fresh grapefruit juice
• 30 milliliters Marsala wine (optional)
• 1 teaspoon Vanilla extract
• 1 teaspoon Grapefruit zest
• 1 whole grapefruit Fresh grapefruit segments (for serving)
• 4 leaves Mint leaves (optional, for garnish)

Directions

Step 1

In a large heatproof bowl, whisk together the egg yolks and granulated sugar until the mixture becomes pale and thick, about 2-3 minutes.

Step 2

Add the fresh grapefruit juice, Marsala wine (if using), vanilla extract, and grapefruit zest to the egg mixture. Whisk until well combined.

Step 3

Set the heatproof bowl over a pot of simmering water, ensuring the bottom of the bowl does not touch the water. Continue whisking the mixture constantly to prevent the eggs from scrambling.

Step 4

Whisk the mixture for approximately 8-10 minutes, or until it thickens to a custard-like consistency and forms a smooth, silky texture.

Step 5

Remove the bowl from the heat and let the zabaglione cool slightly for about 3 minutes.

Step 6

Divide the zabaglione evenly among four serving glasses or bowls. Add fresh grapefruit segments to each serving for a refreshing burst of flavor.

Step 7

Garnish with fresh mint leaves, if desired, and serve immediately. Enjoy this delightful dessert warm or at room temperature.
