Zuppa Inglese ((:ˈdzuppa iŋˈɡleːze) or (:ˈ *tsuppa iŋˈɡleːse); Italian for "English soup") is an Italian dessert layering custard and sponge cake, perhaps derived from trifle. ==History== Recipes for this sweet first appeared in the towns of Parma, Bologna, Forlì, Ferrara, Florence and Reggio Emilia, all in the Emilia-Romagna or Tuscany regions, in the late nineteenth century. Its origins are uncertain and one theory states that it originated in the sixteenth century kitchens of the Dukes of Este, the rulers of Ferrara. They asked their cooks to recreate the sumptuous "English trifle" they had enjoyed in England at the Elizabethan court, where they were frequent visitors. To make Zuppa Inglese, sponge cake or ladyfingers are dipped in Alchermes, a bright red, extremely aromatic Italian herb liqueur. They are then alternated with layers of ''crema pasticciera'', a thick egg custard cooked with a large piece of lemon zest (removed afterwards). Often there is also a layer of ''crema alla cioccolata'' made by dissolving dark chocolate in a plain crema pasticciera. In Italy it is occasionally topped with cream, meringue or almonds. Zuppa Inglese is usually homemade but it can also be bought in pastry shops, and is a favourite cake for children's birthday parties. It is also a popular gelato flavour. 抄文引用元・出典: フリー百科事典『 ウィキペディア（Wikipedia）』 ■ウィキペディアで「Zuppa Inglese」の詳細全文を読む スポンサード リンク
