Ingredients

  • 200 gram boudoir biscuits
  • 250 ml/1 cup fresh cream
  • 250 gram mascarpone
  • 1/3 castor sugar
  • 5 ml vanilla essence
  • 1 cup espresso made with 2 tbsp espresso
  • 2 tbsp cocoa powder

Instructions

  • Add whipping cream and castor sugar to a mixing bowl and whip until soft peaks are formed
  • Mix in the vanilla essence and the mascarpone cheese until stiff peaks form
  • Add the cool espresso to a shallow bowl and dip in the boudoir biscuits, don't let it soak too much and remove
  • Place a layer at the bottom of a dish. Spread half the cream mixture on top. Repeat with another layer of biscuits and spread the other half of the cream mixture on top. You can use a piping bag if you wish.
  • Refrigerate for 3-4 hours. Sprinkle the cocoa powder on top, using a fine mesh strainer, just before serving

Notes

  1. If you don't have espresso you can use a strong coffee
  2. The biscuits can be replaced with a plain firm cake. I have tried this before and it works
  3. Do not let your biscuits soak too long in the espresso or it will become mushy
