You can makezuppa inglesewith all sorts of readymade cookies or cakes. Here it's made withcolomba, Italy's traditional Easter cake. I lovecolomba's柔软的纹理和令人难以置信的黄油arom酵母的蛋糕a. My favorite part is the top of the cake, which has a crisp, sweet almond crust. In Italy, the day after Easter is calledPasquetta, "Little Easter," or Il Lunedi dell'Angelo, "Angel's Monday." Italians traditionally go on a picnic that day, the first outdoor excursion since the start of winter. Dessert includes all the leftover Easter sweets likepastiera,colombacake, or Easter eggs.

Cut the cake into 1/2-inch slices.
Step 2
In a bowl, combine the peaches with the jam and liqueur and stir until the jam is liquidy.
Step 3
In another bowl, beat the ricotta, mascarpone, and sugar until smooth and creamy. Fold in whipped cream to taste.
Step 4
Line the bottom of a 2-quart (2-liter) glass bowl with cake pieces. Top with some of the peaches and their liquid. Spread with a layer of the whipped cream mixture and sprinkle with chocolate. Repeat the layers, ending with the whipped cream mixture on top and reserving some of the cake for garnish. Cover with plastic wrap and refrigerate for at least 4 hours or overnight.

Garnish with more chocolate and diced pieces of cake just before serving.

Back to TopIck! If you make this be sure you limit the alcohol to about 1/4 of what it asks for. Ours was ruined and I made two of them! So embarrassing at Easter.

I was very disappointed in this trifle. And incredibly embarrassed when I served at Easter. It was bitter bitter! I increased the sugar required in the dairy portion. Perhaps I should not have used the dark chocolate Italian candy? Perhaps I shouldn’t have used (very expensive) limoncello and not something sweeter? I followed the recipe Carefully and used all of the listed ingredients by Brand Name! It was an expensive dish to make and unfortunately I doubled it. The second one has gone in the trash.

This looked beautiful and tasted good, but I have other Italian trifle recipes that are irresistible. alas, this was not. Perhaps it needed a little peach or apricot brandy to liven it up.
