| 1. In a pot wish together very well egg yolks, sugar and corn flour until light. | 2. Add lemon zest and vanilla. Mix well. | 3. Add boiling milk. | 4. Now heat, stirring, until it barely reaches a boil, and cook for 30 seconds, stirring gently. Remove the pot from the fire. Don’t overheat this in order to prevent sticking on the bottom of the pot (I make this step in the microwave stopping several times to stir the cream). | 5.

Repat the step with the savoiardi (or sponge cake) and spoon the rest of the syrup over these. | 12. Cover with the remaing cream. | 13. Top with the siewed cocoa powder. | 14. Refrigerate at least 5 hours and enjoy. | 15. Note 1: If you don’t want to use alcohol, you could use some sweet syrup as grenadine. Or a mixture of water, sugar and some drops almond flavor. | 16.
