Even if the term Zuppa Inglese is literally translated into English soup, it really has nothing to do with any kind of soup at all. This is actually a delicious dessert that is made up of liquerdi, savoiardi biscuits, custard or blancmange. This particular recipe serves around 6 people.
Ingredients:
Savoiardi biscuits, 1 packet
Custard, 1 pint
Strawberry blancmange, 1 pint
Liquer, 2 cups
Directions:
First make the custard according to the instructions of the manufacturer. Then you make the strawberry blackmange according to its own instructions in the package as well. Pour the liquer mix into a dish and when the custard and blackmange is cooled already, spoon it into the base of the dish. Dip the saviordi biscuits in the liquer and place them on top of the strawberry blancmange. When you are done layering the first bicuit layer, cover it with a layer of custard as well. Then start off another biscuit layer and so on until the entire Zuppa Inglese is done. Leave in the fridge overnight before eating.
