English Trifle is a delicious traditional Italian dessert composed of layers of sponge cake soaked in liqueurs like Rum and Alchermes, lemon custard, and Italian meringue. Its origin is uncertain, but it is thought to be inspired by the English Trifle. Typical of the Emilia-Romagna region, this trifle is rich in flavors and contrasts.
Prepare the sponge cake and Italian meringue following the instructions in the corresponding recipes
Beat the egg yolks in a saucepan with the sugar, slowly incorporate the sifted flour, and finally dilute with warm milk
Flavor the mixture with lemon zest and vanilla, and cook over moderate heat, stirring continuously for about 10 minutes until it thickens
Once done, remove the cream from the heat and let it cool
Cut the sponge cake into slices about one centimeter thick
Spread a thin layer of cream on the bottom of a baking dish, cover it with half of the sponge cake slices, and soak them with half a glass of rum
Form a regular layer of cream on the cake using half of the remaining cream, and cover it with the rest of the sponge cake, which you will soak with half a glass of alchermes
Spread the rest of the cream on top and smooth it well with a spatula or the blade of a knife
Place the Italian meringue in a piping bag with a round and smooth nozzle and distribute it over the surface of the dessert, forming a lattice decoration
Bake the English trifle in a preheated oven (200 degrees) for 7-8 minutes
Once done, remove the dessert from the oven, let it cool, and serve
