ZABAIONE AND PANDORO CUPS, an easy and quick spoon dessert to prepare, simple and tasty idea as a New Year’s Eve dessert to make in little time and in advance.
The zabaione and pandoro cups are the classic New Year’s Eve dessert that everyone agrees on: creamy, fragrant, comforting. I make them when I have little time but still want to bring something scenic 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 beauty of these individual sweet cups is that they are made in advance, kept in the fridge, and are ready at a moment’s notice. Soft zabaione, layered pandoro, zero stress, and maximum results. Perfect for those seeking easy New Year’s desserts, quick yet impressive, no oven and no fuss.
