Method:

Coffee addicts will love this easy-to-prepare version of the Italian favourite. And non-coffee drinkers are likely to change their mind.

1. Mix the coffee with 180 ml (¾ c) of the liqueur in a shallow bowl. Dip the biscuits into the liquid until moist on all sides but not soggy. Line an 18×30 cm baking tin with a layer of biscuits.

2. Whisk the egg yolks and caster sugar until pale. Fold in the remaining liqueur and the mascarpone cheese to make a mousse-like consistency.

3. Whisk 1 egg white until soft-peak stage. Fold into the mascarpone mixture and spread half the mixture on top of the biscuits.

4. Repeat with another layer of moistened finger biscuits and top with the remaining cheese mixture.

5. Cover and chill overnight. Just before serving sift the cocoa powder over the top.
