We’re always talking about saving electricity, organic soil, indoor air quality, and greener building practices here at Best Green Home Tips. While I’ll admit, it’s fun for me to talk about, it’s not totally cool summerlicious fun, now is it? Thus today I thought we’d divert from home help to home elegance and fun with a cool dessert you can whip up for one of those late evening meals on the patio I hope you’re having during these warm months.
Berries and Zabaglione dessert…
This classic twist on an Italian dessert comes courtesy of Driscoll’s Berries, who offers a wide selection of organic berries in various stores around the country. You can whip this up and serve it in wine glasses as shown above for an elegant display. You can garnish with organic mint or organic edible flowers from your garden too.
Prep time: 15 minutes
Makes 4 servings
- 2 packages (6 ounces each) Driscoll’s Organic Raspberries, Organic Blackberries or Organic Blueberries or 3 cups sliced hulled Organic Strawberries.

- 1/3 cup granulated sugar
- 1/2 cup dry Marsala wine
- Divide berries between four 8-ounce dessert dishes or stemmed glasses.
