Preparation of the English pudding
Prepare a syrup by heating the water with sugar and adding the alchermes, then let it cool. With the already prepared custard, cover the bottom of your cup. Dunk the Dolcesenza Rusks in the red syrup and let soak in accordance to your taste. Then place them in the cup until all the custard is covered. Continue by alternating layers of custard and rusks soaked in the syrup. Top off the cup with a layer of custard and let rest in the refrigerator for at least two hours.
Prior to serving the English pudding, sprinkle with cocoa powder.
