Prepare Sabayon cream based on wine. Traditionally, Marsala is taken as a wine - a Sicilian dessert wine, but, if desired, you can take any other wine that you like the most. In its finished form, Sabayon has a rich wine aroma and taste, so if you are not a fan of alcohol, then such a dessert is unlikely to be to your taste.

How do I know if an egg is fresh? Break it into a separate container. First of all, there should be no unpleasant smell. The protein of fresh eggs will be transparent and clean. The yolk should not spread and will be shiny, convex, homogeneous.

Be sure to wash the eggs before use, as even the seemingly clean shell may contain harmful bacteria. It is best to use food detergents and a brush.
