Ingredients

1/2 cup sugar
1/3 cup plus 3 tablespoons imported sweet Marsala
3 egg yolks
1 cup (8 ounces) mascarpone cheese
1/2 cup chilled whipping cream
1/2 teaspoon vanilla extract
1/4 teaspoon cinnamon
24 4x1/2x1/4-inch strips purchased pound cake
2 1/2-pint containers raspberries

Preparation

  1. Step 1

    Whisk sugar, 1/3 cup Marsala, and egg yolks to blend in large metal bowl. Set over pan of barely simmering water (do not allow bowl to touch water); whisk constantly until mixture thickens and thermometer registers 160°F, about 6 minutes. Place bowl over large bowl filled with ice; continue whisking until zabaglione cools, about 3 minutes.

    Whisk mascarpone to loosen in another large bowl; in 3 additions, foldin zabaglione. Whip cream, vanilla, and cinnamon in small bowl until soft peaks form; fold into zabaglione.

    Step 3

    Sprinkle pound cake strips with remaining 3 tablespoons Marsala. Arrange 4 strips in each of 6 goblets. Sprinkle a few raspberries over; top with 1/2 cup mousse. Sprinkle remaining raspberries over. Cover; chill 1 hour or overnight.
