This specific recipe was used recently to celebrate Matteo Delle Donne’s 88th birthday. It’s easy, delicious and provides at least 16 portions to make sure the entire family gets enough. Use Zandam Mascarpone – it didn’t win first prize at the South Africa Dairy Championships in its category for no reason 🙂
INGREDIENTS/THE WHAT:
20ml instant coffee granules (good quality)
2 tbsp (30ml) boiling water
1 ½ cups (375ml) cream
250g Zandam mascarpone
4 tbsp (60ml) sweetened condensed milk
150g dark chocolate, melted
2 packs (about 45) ladyfinger biscuits (sponsbeskuitjies in Afrikaans)
½ cup (125ml) coffee liqueur
½ cup (125ml) coffee
Whispers or shortbread chocolates for decorating
METHOD/THE HOW:
- Dissolve the coffee granules in the boiling water. Leave to cool completely.
- Whip the cream until stiff peaks form.
- Now gently mix in the Zandam Mascarpone, the condensed milk, melted chocolate and cooled coffee.
- Roll the biscuits in the liqueur.
- Place the biscuits and chocolate mixture in a bowl of your choice in layers.
- Decorate with the Whispers or whichever chocolate you choice for the purpose.
- Now comes the challenge – you have to put this in the fridge for a couple of hours (preferably overnight) before serving.
