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

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.
