Sponge fingers 75g (6oz)

Strong espresso coffee 125ml (4fl oz)

Coffee liqueur, such as Kahlua or rum 4 tbsp

Eggs 3, yolks only

Caster sugar 75g (3oz)

Mascarpone 250g pot

Cocoa powder for decorating

1 Break half the sponge fingers into small enough pieces to fit into the bottom of four tumbler glasses. In a measuring jug, mix together the coffee and liqueur and pour half over the biscuits.

2 In a bowl, whisk together the egg yolks and sugar until light, thick and fluffy. Then gradually whisk in the mascarpone.

3 Spoon half the mascarpone mixture on top of the coffee and liqueur and sift over a layer of cocoa powder. Then add the remaining sponge fingers and coffee and liqueur, followed by the rest of the mascarpone.

4 Chill for at least an hour so that the flavours have time to develop. Before serving, lightly sift cocoa powder over the top to decorate.

COOK’S TIP

For a richer version, swap the cocoa powder for grated chocolate.
