Zuccotto is a dome-shaped dessert made with sponge cake, cream, and sometimes chocolate chips or candied fruit. It has a compact structure, a soft interior, and a full but balanced flavor. It is not a light dessert. It is not an everyday dessert. It is a dessert for special occasions. Its shape is unmistakable, almost architectural. It is not accidental. It is designed. It is not improvised. It is crafted.
