And here wee go again with a rest from the original Italian tiramisu recipe. This time another Italian recipe called pappa mantovana (from the city of Mantova).
Ingredients for four people.
400gr sponge
3 tsb orange flavoured liqueur
180gr sugar
50gr icing sugar
100ml marsala wine
15gr isinglass
5 egg yolks
1 tbsp flour
300ml cream
100ml white wine
50ml rum
Soften the isinglass in cold water. In the meantime, mix the yolks with 150gr of sugar until pale and fluffy and then add, mixing, flour, wine and Marsala. Add the mix to a pan and cook on a low heat for ten minutes. then take off the stove. Squeeze the isinglass and add it to the mix.
In a bowl work the butter with the icing sugar. Add the whipped cream and the remaining caster sugar. Also add the butter, and the rum.
Cut the sponge into slices wet them with orange liqueur and line a pumpkin-shaped mold (the one you would use for zuccotto). Pour the cream on the sponge, then put it in the fridge. Transfer it to a serving dish, by turning it upside down.
