Pour gelatin (previously dropped in cold water) in the cooked blend and stir to melt. Avoid blend solidification.
  3. In a double boiler, cook to 80 °C the moscato wine, egg yolks and sugar by whisking constantly. Once ready, add gelatin (previously dropped in cold water).
  4. Cook to 150 °C sugar and water. Add Balsamic Vinegar (20 g.) and take away from the cooker.

GARNISH: sprinkle the bottom of glass with crumbled biscuits. Pour in a layer of mascarpone by tilting the glass and keep a while in fridge. Then, place cherries with their jelly and keep in fridge until thick for about 20 minutes. End with zabaione and allow to harden. Garnish with caramel glaze, and serve with some cherries and whipped cream flavored with cinnamon.
