Heat the milk with the vanilla and remove it from the heat before it boils.
Whisk the egg yolks, sugar, and flour until smooth.
Add the hot milk to the egg mixture little by little, then return it to the pot.
Cook the custard for 8 minutes, stirring, until thickened.
Add the dark chocolate to half of the custard and melt it in.
Slice the sponge cake and moisten it lightly with Alchermes liqueur.
Layer the sponge, vanilla custard, and chocolate custard.
Chill the dessert for 2 hours and serve dusted with cocoa.
💡 Tip: Layering the custards while lukewarm, not hot, keeps the sponge from softening too much.
🍽️ Serving suggestion: Chill for at least 2 hours, dust with cocoa, and serve in small bowls.
