Espresso Zabaglione
This espresso zabaglione is a quick café-style dessert drink made with whipped egg yolks, sugar, and a fresh shot of espresso. The yolks are beaten until pale, thick, and airy, creating a light, custard-like foam that melts into the hot coffee when poured over the top. Rich, silky, and intensely coffee-forward, this classic Italian-inspired treat comes together in just 15 minutes for a simple yet elegant finish to a meal.

Preparation
- Stir together the egg yolk and sugar in a small bowl. Using an immersion blender with a whisk attachment or an electric hand mixer, beat the mixture vigorously for about 5 minutes, or until it becomes pale yellow, thick, and fluffy. Pour the mixture into a small coffee cup or espresso glass.
- Slowly pour the hot espresso over the whipped egg yolk mixture. Stir gently to combine, or sip through the layers of creamy foam and strong coffee. Serve immediately.
- Enjoy!
