dark chocolate

🥗Healthier: cacao nibs

💰Cheaper: chocolate chips

Cacao nibs are healthier, while chocolate chips are easier to find.

💰Cheaper: coffee liqueur

Vanilla extract provides flavor without alcohol.

Prepare the crema pasticcera by combining the fresh whole milk, egg yolks, granulated sugar, maizena, cocoa powder, lemon zest, and vanilla essence in a saucepan.

Cook the mixture over medium heat, stirring constantly until it thickens.

In a separate bowl, mix the alchermes (or rum/amaretto) with water and sugar to create a soaking liquid.

Dip the savoiardi in the soaking liquid briefly to soften them.

Layer the soaked savoiardi and the crema pasticcera in a serving dish, repeating the layers until all ingredients are used.
