Ingredients for preparing diplomatic cream with zabaglione

Steps for preparing diplomatic cream with zabaglione
To achieve a full-flavored and aromatic diplomatic cream with zabaglione, start by preparing your custard. In a saucepan, work the egg yolks with the sugar and cornstarch until you get a light and smooth mixture: this step is essential to give the cream the right creaminess. Gradually pour the Marsala over the yolk mixture, stirring continuously to avoid lumps and achieve a homogeneous base. Finally, add the milk.
At this point, cook the cream over low heat, stirring constantly until it thickens. Patience here makes the difference: a slow and steady cooking process allows you to obtain a smooth, velvety cream with a well-balanced zabaglione scent. When it reaches the right consistency, remove it from the heat and let it cool completely in a bowl covered with cling film. Once cold, put it in the fridge; I let it rest for 12 hours.
When the custard with zabaglione is well chilled, you can move on to the final step: incorporate the whipped cream without sugar. Add it gently with upward movements to maintain all its lightness. You’ll see that the texture will immediately change, becoming soft, airy, and perfect for filling cakes, tarts, cream puffs, or spoon desserts. Your diplomatic cream with zabaglione is ready: fragrant, balanced, and irresistible.
