'Zuppa Inglese' (Italian trifle) recipe

8 ingredients 30 min 4 people openrecipes

This is not an English soup, as the title suggests, but an Italian trifle. I am not sure where this recipe originates from, but it is suggested that the cooks of the Dukes of Este in Ferrara tried to recreate the English trifle after visits to England.
