Lemon Marsala Sauce:

In a small saucepan, combine the wine, sugar, lemon zest, and lemon juice and heat over medium-high heat. Bring to a boil, stirring constantly, until the sugar dissolves. Simmer until the liquid has reduced by half, about 25 minutes. Remove from the heat and stir in the nutmeg. Let the sauce cool for 30 minutes. Refrigerate for at least 1 hour before serving (can be made up to 3 days in advance).
Spoon the ice cream into 4 bowls and top with strawberries. Drizzle with the sauce and sprinkle with crushed cookies.
