JA's & Andrew's Zuppa Inglese....
Not quite. More like Torta Zuppa Inglese the way it turned out.
I was going for an traditional Zuppa Inglese, like Mum used to make, God Bless her, with Vanilla and Cacao layered Crema Pasticciera interlaced with Savoiardi Biscuits or sponge cake dipped in the traditionally used Alchemes (
Red) Liquer. I didn't have enough cacao so went for milk chocolate which created a much lighter coloured crema and we couldn't get Alchermes from
Dan's so went for a mix of Marsala 50%, Amaretto 25% and Whiskey 25% so there's no "bright red biscuit look", unfortunately.
How did it taste? It was incredible - a cross between Mum's Zuppa Inglese and a Traditional Italian Layered Birthday Cake. MMMMmmmmmmmmm
It was a team effort by JA and Andrew (AA)
