Reply:Can it be a zuccotto?
My mom makes it with different ingredients (hers is based on coffee), but I'm pretty positive the name depends on the shape (that of a bowl upside-down) rather than what it's made with.
Edit: here's what a zuccotto looks like: http://i.timeinc.net/realsimple/images/r...
Reply:Certosino does not have cream in it.
