Serves: 6
INGREDIENTS
100 grams crisp Italian style biscuit eg biscotti, savoiardi, or amaretti
¼ cup sweet wine, Vin Santo, Marsala or limoncello
2 medium eggs, separated

finely grated zest of 2 lemons
¾ cup cream
METHOD
Roughly crush the biscuits and sprinkle with the wine.
Whisk the egg yolks with the caster sugar until pale and thick and stir in the lemon zest.
Beat the egg whites until stiff but not dry. Whip the cream to soft peaks. Using a large metal spoon, fold a quarter of the egg whites into the yolk mixture to loosen it and then fold in the remainder. Fold in the whipped cream along with the biscuits.
