ZABAIONE AND PANDORO CUPS, an easy and quick spoon dessert to prepare, a simple and tasty idea as a New Year’s dessert to make in a short time and in advance.
The zabaione and pandoro cups are the classic New Year’s dessert that everyone agrees on: creamy, fragrant, and reassuring. I make them when I have little time but still want to bring something spectacular to the table, perfect as a spoon dessert for New Year’s Eve, also ideal for using up leftover pandoro without it seeming like “recycling”.
The great thing about these single-serving sweet cups is that they are made in advance, kept in the refrigerator, and are ready without any last-minute hassle. Soft zabaione, layered pandoro, zero stress, and maximum results. They are perfect for those looking for easy New Year desserts, quick but impressive, without an oven and without complications.

Steps
Weigh the egg yolks and add the same quantity of sugar.
Put a pot with water on the stove and turn it on.
In a smaller pot, work the egg yolks with the sugar with a hand whisk, add the chosen liquor, I used cooked wine, mix and move to the stove.
Work the egg yolks in a bain-marie for 5 minutes; they should become foamy and soft.
Remove from the stove and let it cool, then pour it into the cups alternating with pieces of pandoro.
Bon appétit
