Hi everyone and welcome to this months new event of Make it Happen Blog Hop! Five bloggers, including myself , have formed an alliance to challenge ourselves in different capacities over the next 12 months.

Zabaione

Zabaione, a delicious Italian creamy dessert. If you like eggnog you will love Zabaione, serve it with these yummy Italian chocolate cut-out cookies.|anitalianinmykitchen.com

To tell the truth Eggnog or Zabaione, the Italian equivalent, is not my favourite Christmas treat.

But I decided I would give it a chance, since the Italian was really looking forward to it.

If you are a lover of eggnog then I’m sure you will also enjoy Zabaione, if not you can always eat the cookies! Which is what I did. I decided to make some delicious Italian chocolate cookies to serve with the Zabaione.

This is a super easy recipe to make. Some use electric beaters to make Zabaione, but I used a whisk, you need a little extra time but I find I had more control when I reached the desired thickness. The cookies were also fast and delicious, an Italian type chocolate shortbread. Enjoy!

Ingredients
  

  • ZABAIONE
  • 2 egg yolks
  • 2 tablespoons sugar
  • 2 tablespoons Marsala wine or Moscato wine
  • CHOCOLATE COOKIE DOUGH
  • 2/3 cup butter room temperature
  • 1/4 cup unsweetened cocoa
  • 2 1/4 cups flour
  • 1/2 cup sugar
  • 1/2 teaspoon baking powder
  • 1 egg room temperature
  • 1 egg yolk room temperature

Instructions
 

  • ZABAIONE
  • In a medium bowl with a whisk (or electric hand beaters) beat egg yolks and sugar until smooth and pale yellow (and sugar has dissolved), then place the bowl over a small pot of simmering hot water over low heat (make sure the bowl is not touching the water) and then add the Marsala continue beating until you reach the desired thickness. Pour into dessert glasses or bowls, serve immediately or at room temperature.
  • CHOCOLATE COOKIE DOUGH
  • In a large bowl,gently whisk together flour,sugar,cocoa and baking powder, create a well in the middle and add slightly beaten egg and yolk and butter cut into pieces. Mix together, at this point turn mixture onto a slightly floured surface and work the mixture to form a soft dough (it will take about 10 minutes for everything to come together to form a dough, it does seem crumbly at first but don't lose patience). Wrap in plastic and refrigerate for 30 minutes. Remove from fridge and knead the dough a couple of times to soften it up again on a lightly floured surface. Roll out to 1/8" thickness (or slightly thicker) and cut into shapes. Bake in pre-heated 350° oven for approximately 10-12 minutes. Cool completely and dust with powdered sugar before serving. Enjoy!
