Zabaglione.
I just happen to have a recipe for that. <g>
4 egg yolks
4 oz sugar
1 cup Marsala wine
1/2 tsp cinnamon
Use a wisk to mix and beat to a light foam.
Continue to beat while heating the mixture over
warm (simmering) water. i.e. double boiler.
There is documentation to suggest that Bartolomeo
Scappi (c.1500 - c.1580) made this dish, but I am
unable to give a specific source.
I recently used a 4 gallon stock pot inside a wider
pot partially filled with water -- the handles of
the first pot rested on the lip of the one on the
burner.
You will find that if you are working in a stock pot,
the wisk will be less effective than usual.

YMMV
