Cooking the dish according to the recipe:

Berries:

In a medium bowl, combine the berries, lemon juice, limoncello, and sugar. Lightly crush the berries with the back of a fork. Set aside for at least 30 minutes to allow the juices to release and the flavors to meld.
Sabayon with limoncello:

In a medium saucepan, pour 2 inches of water and bring to a boil over medium heat. In a heatproof bowl that sits comfortably on the saucepan but doesn't touch the water, combine the egg yolks, limoncello, sugar, lemon zest, and lemon juice. Beat with an electric mixer on low speed until smooth. Place the bowl over the simmering water and continue beating until the mixture forms a thick ribbon when lifted, about 10 minutes. Remove the bowl from the saucepan and continue beating for another 2 minutes to prevent the eggs from cooking. Cool to room temperature.
