Ingredients

Servings
  • 8 oz whipping cream
  • 1 cup Crema pasticcera (using ½ quantities of my recipe below)
  • 3 Tbsp chocolate hazelnut spread (without palm oil, preferably)
  • 15 tea biscuits rectangular (like Nice tea biscuits)
  • 6 oz marsala wine sweet (preferably Marsala all'Uovo)
  • 1 Tbsp chocolate sprinkles (or flakes or curls)

Instructions

  1. Whip the cream until stiff and fold half into the crema pasticcera. (Reserve 1 tablespoonful, and set aside.)
  2. Put the chocolate hazelnut spread into the other half and fold until evenly blended.
  3. Pour some Marsala into a shallow bowl and begin dipping the biscuits/cookies into the liqueur.
  4. Place three in a row on a serving plate, then spread half of the plain crema pasticcera over the top.
  5. Continue dipping biscuits in the Marsala (adding more wine to the dish as needed), but place the biscuits in the opposite direction (cutting the biscuits to fill out the layer, after they've been dipped).
  6. Next, spread a layer of the chocolate whipped cream, and repeat the process two more times, using half of the cream for each layer.
  7. Cover and refrigerate for at least 4 hours, or overnight.
  8. To finish the top, spread the reserved tablespoonful of cream thinly over the top and sprinkle with chocolate sprinkles, or chocolate curls just before serving.

Notes

  • Use a liqueur or spirit, like rum, if you can't find sweet Marsala.
