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

Ingredients

  • 0.5 cups strawberries - hulled , halved and sliced
  • 1 teaspoon white sugar
  • 3 large egg yolks
  • 3 tablespoons white sugar
  • 0.25 cups dry Marsala wine

Instructions

  1. 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. 2

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

  3. 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. 4

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