Zuccotto is a fabulous, creamy Italian dessert cake that is made in the form of a dome, or more specifically a pumpkin. Make it once, and it won’t be the last time. Originally published August 11, 2014. What is Zuccotto? Zuccotto is derived from the Italian word for pumpkin, “zucca”, but I can assure you, it’s much more delicious than a pumpkin!
Whip the cream until soft peaks form. Place the ricotta, mascarpone, lemon zest and icing sugar in a food processor and process until smooth. Add the ricotta mixture to the cream and stir in 1 tablespoon amaretto. Transfer half the mixture to another bowl and stir in the almonds, mixed peel and half of the dark chocolate, set aside.
Using an electric mixer, beat 1 cup of cream in another large bowl until it is thick and fluffy. Fold 1/4 of the whipped cream into the chocolate. Fold half of the remaining whipped cream into the chocolate mixture. Fold in the remaining whipped cream. Spread the chocolate cream over the cake, covering completely and creating a well in the center.
