Savoia Zabaglione Caffè

The Savoia Zabaglione Caffè is a luxurious Italian coffee cocktail inspired by the decadent zabaglione, a classic Italian custard made from egg yolks, sugar, and Marsala wine. Originating from northern Italy’s rich culinary tradition, the zabaglione brings warmth, smoothness, and richness to the robust flavor of freshly brewed espresso. This drink artfully blends the sweetness of Marsala and sugar with the intensity of Italian coffee culture—celebrated worldwide for its depth and invigorating qualities.

Tips & Notes

• Ensure eggs are fresh or use pasteurized eggs for safety.
• Continuous whisking over gentle heat creates the perfect creamy texture of zabaglione.
• Use sweet Marsala to balance bitterness of coffee.
• Optional whipped cream and cocoa powder add lovely texture and visual appeal.

History & Cultural Significance

Zabaglione itself is thought to have originated in the Italian Renaissance as a festive, celebratory dessert. This twist incorporating strong coffee honors Italy's dual passions: exquisite desserts and rich espresso beverages. The combination is perfect for after-dinner relaxation or cold-weather indulgence.

Unique Aspects

Unlike many coffee cocktails, Savoia Zabaglione Caffè uses a handmade custard layer rather than syrups or cream liqueurs, lending a unique velvety mouthfeel and a sophisticated flavor profile that strikes the perfect balance between bitter and sweet.
