  • Remove the bowl from heat and whisk in the vanilla and almond extracts. Set aside to cool completely at room temperature, about 45 minutes to an hour.
  • Once the mixture has cooled, add the cream to the bowl of your stand mixer, with whisk attachment fixed. Beat on medium high speed until stiff peaks form. Fold the cream very gently into the marsala mixture.
  • Into 4 separate glasses, spoon the zabaglione. Top with crushed Amaretti or Biscotti cookies. Cover with plastic wrap and let the zabaglione chill completely in the refrigerator for about 2-3 hours before serving.
