Zuccotto is a chocolaty rich, easy to make dessert I’m sure you’ll enjoy, There is nothing that compliments a great meal more than a great Italian dessert and this is definitely a great Italian dessert.

This dessert which originated in Florence is a semi-frozen dessert made with rum, cookies, chocolate and whipped cream. You can’t beat that combination. Normally the dessert is made in a traditional pumpkin shaped mold. Its widely said that it’s been inspired by the dome of Florence, Italy’s main cathedral, duomo.

It needs to set in the refrigerator over night to set properly. When it’s ready you won’t regret having to wait. There are many variations of this recipe but this is one of my favorite.
