Directions

  1. Gently stir the strawberries and sugar together in a bowl. Cover and let sit at room temperature until juices release, about 1 hour.

  2. Divide fruit between 2 small, clear serving bowls or stemmed cocktail glasses.

  3. Place egg yolks, sugar, and marsala into metal mixing bowl. Set over burner on low heat. Hold rim of bowl with a potholder. Whisk until mixture forms loose peaks, 7 or 8 minutes. Mixture should feel warm to the touch.

  4. Spoon custard over the strawberries. Serve while custard is still warm.

Recipe Note

In this classic Italian dessert, sweet, juicy fruit is enveloped in a rich but impossibly light custard.
