For biscuits:

Step 1 - Heat up water, Martini Rosso & sugar and simmer for a few minutes. Place the Saviordi biscuits on a tray (sugar side down) and pour the soak over until they absorb all the liquid. Let stand for 1 hour then place in fridge to cool.

To assemble:

Once you have churned the gelato, take out the biscuits and make layers like a tiramisu or trifle, using the gelato & the Martini Rosso soaked biscuits. Collect points from spouse and relax for another two years  knowing that you don't have to cook again for that time period ;)
