Method

Combine all the ingredients except the berries in a large heatproof bowl and set over a pan of gently simmering water.
Whisk vigorously until the mixture thickens and becomes foamy - this should take about 7 mins.
Divide the berries among six serving bowls and spoon over the hot sauce as soon as it comes off the heat.

Top Tip for making Champagne berry zabaglione

Top tip: Maybe it does seem a little indulgent to open a bottle of Champagne to make a dessert. But if you pour the remainder into glasses with a splash of crème de cassis, it's a great accompaniment to the zabaglione. Alternatively, you can always buy a half bottle, or use cava or prosecco.
