Press one-third of the crumb mixture into the base of the pan, then pour over one-third of the zabaglione mixture. Freeze for 15 minutes or until slightly firm (chill the remaining mixture in the fridge). Remove pan from freezer and repeat layers and freezing. Top with a third layer of crumbs and zabaglione. Freeze for at least 4 hours or overnight to set.
