There are probably more recipes for this Italian dessert on the Internet than there are photos of cats, but for good reason. It can be made a day or two ahead of the event, it will feed a crowd, it is so easy to put together, and it is sensationally delicious. Too many food writers make this too complicated – there is no cream, you can’t use diet ceam cheese and sponge cake or lady fingers make abysmal substitutes. In Italy, there normally is not a wedding cake, but a series of “spoon desserts”. This one was served at my dqughter’s wedding outside of Ascoli Piceno.in Le Marche.
