Zuppa Inglese is a nice dessert that was very popular with English tourists. They love sweets with liquor. Thus its name, Zuppa Inglese (English Soup).

Serves: 8 to 10
Preparation time: 45 minutes
Recommended wine: Moscato d’Asti
Origin: Tuscany
Ingredients:

4 egg yolks
2 1/2 cups milk
about 21 Savoiardi (lady fingers)
3/4 cup sugar
1 cup Alchermes liquor
one piece lemon zest
1/2 cup flour
fresh whipping cream

Instructions:
1. Warm up the milk in a nonstick sauce pan.
2. In a large bowl beat the egg yolks with the sugar, add the flour and combine the ingredients until well mixed.
3. Add the milk, a little bit at the time to the egg mixture, mixing well.
4. Put the mixture into the sauce pan and cook it on the stove at a medium low heat. Mix the cream continuously with a wooden spoon. When it starts to thicken remove it from the heat and pour it on a large plate to cool off.
5. Stir the cream now and then so that the top doesn’t harden.
6. Dip quickly both sides of the savoiardi in the liquor. Layer them one at the time in a glass bowl large enough to contain 7 savoiardi.
7. Spread 1/3 of the cream and repeat the layer with savoiardi. Finish with the cream.
8. Refrigerate for at least 4 hours better yet overnight. Before serving decorate the zuppa inglese with whipped cream.

Notes:
Alchermes is Liquor you should be able to find it in specialty liquor stores. If you do not want to use alcohol you can substitute Alchermes with strong Italian coffee, but you won’t call this dish Zuppa Inglese anymore.
