Serves 6


Ingredients:

¾ cup (185ml) chilled cream
¼ cup (60g) sugar
250g chilled mascarpone
⅓ cup (80ml) Kahlua
⅔ cup (170ml) cooled strong black coffee
150g thin sponge finger biscuits, each biscuit cut into thirds
cocoa powder, to dust


Method:

  • Using electric beaters, beat the cream and sugar until soft peaks form. Add the mascarpone and 1 tsp Kahlua and beat for a further 20 seconds. Do not overbeat or the mixture will curdle.
  • Combine the coffee and remaining Kahlua in a bowl. Dunk each biscuit piece into the coffee mixture and firmly line the base of six ½ cup (125ml) glasses or rameskins with the biscuits. Evenly spoon the cream mixture into each dish and smooth the top. Refrigerate until ready to eat. Dust with cocoa just before serving.
