Italian Trifle

When discussing Italian cuisine, we often think of pizza, pasta, and lasagna, but Italian desserts are equally delectable. Today, I will introduce you to an Italian trifle known as Zuppa Inglese.

Ingredients:

• 10 Italian ladyfinger biscuits, lightly crushed
• 100 grams of cream cheese
• 2 tbsp confectioners' sugar
• 1/2 cup of cold double cream
• 1 tbsp of lemon zest
• A variety of berries such as strawberries, blackberries, raspberries, gooseberries, and cherries
• 4-5 almonds and walnuts, roughly chopped

If you want to make the best trifle, you should purchase very soft and flavorful ladyfingers biscuits.

Instructions:

• Crush and combine the ladyfinger biscuits, then layer them at the bottom of the glass.
•  Create a layer of berries on top of the crushed biscuits, reserving some for the garnish.
•  In a bowl, whip the double cream until stiff peaks form, ensuring the cream is cold, and set it aside.
•  Beat the cream cheese with confectioners' sugar on high speed until light and fluffy. 
• Using a spatula, carefully fold the whipped cream into the cream cheese mixture. 
• Stir in the lemon zest.
•  With a spoon or piping bag, add a layer of the cream mixture into the jar.
