From an Italian girl I once knew. Thank you, Isabella, wherever you are!
Ingredients:
4 egg yolks,
4 tblsp sugar,
Two mugs of very strong black coffee (cooled),
250g (1 tub) Mascarpone cheese,
1 packet of sponge fingers,
1 tblsp cocoa powder/hot chocolate/milo/grated
chocolate ... you get the idea!
1 rectangular takeaway container
Directions:
1. Blend egg yolks with sugar until it forms a yellow
paste
2. Blend mascarpone cheese with yolk/sugar paste until
it's completely mixed
3. ONE BY ONE, dip the sponge fingers in the coffee
and make a layer in the container
4. Pour half the cheesy mixture on the layer of soaked
sponge fingers
Repeat steps 3 and 4
5. Evenly sprinkle the chocolate powder on top
6. Cover the container and either refrigerate
overnight or put it in the freezer for a couple of
hours
Remember, chef gets first chance at licking the
cheesy, creamy mixture bowl! The colder it is, the
more it tastes like it actually has alcohol.
7. Serve and try to appear modest while accolades are
heaped upon you
Make this and your partners will thank you
