Equipment

  • tart tin
  • mixing bowls
  • saucepan
  • spatula
  • electric mixer or whisk

Ingredients
  

  • 200 g ladyfingers or digestive biscuits (crushed)
  • 100 g unsalted butter (melted)
  • 1 tbsp espresso powder or strong instant coffee
  • 200 g dark chocolate (70%)
  • 200 ml double cream
  • 1 tsp espresso powder
  • 1 tsp vanilla extract
  • 2 tbsp coffee liqueur (optional)
  • 250 g mascarpone cheese (cold)
  • 200 ml double cream (cold)
  • 60 g icing sugar
  • 1 tsp vanilla extract
  • 1 tbsp cocoa powder (for dusting)
  • 20 g chocolate shavings (optional)

Instructions
 

  • Crush the biscuits or ladyfingers into fine crumbs. Mix with melted butter and espresso powder until combined. Press firmly into a tart tin and refrigerate to set.
  • Heat the cream until steaming, then pour over chopped dark chocolate. Let sit briefly, then stir until smooth. Add espresso powder, vanilla, and optional liqueur.
  • Pour the chocolate mixture over the chilled base and spread evenly. Refrigerate for 1–2 hours until set.
  • In a bowl, mix mascarpone, icing sugar, and vanilla until smooth. Add cold cream and whip gently until soft peaks form.
  • Spoon or pipe the mascarpone cream over the set chocolate layer. Smooth or decorate as desired.
  • Dust with cocoa powder and add chocolate shavings if desired. Chill for another 1–2 hours or overnight before serving.

Notes

Use cold mascarpone and cream for best results. Do not overwhip the cream to avoid splitting. Chill each layer properly for clean slices. For a non-alcoholic version, replace coffee liqueur with extra espresso or vanilla extract.
