Ingredients

  • 400ml double cream

  • 250g mascarpone

  • 4tbsp caster sugar

  • 75ml Baileys

  • 300ml strong coffee

  • 75ml whiskey

  • 200g Savoiardi sponge fingers

  • 100g hazelnuts, toasted and roughly crushed in a pestle and mortar

  • 75g dark chocolate, grated

Method

  1. Put the cream, mascarpone and sugar into a bowl and whisk by hand with a balloon whisk until it is thick and luscious. Whisk in the Baileys and set aside.

  2. Mix the coffee and whiskey together in a shallow dish. Dip the sponge fingers into this mixture and put a layer of them into a glass serving dish. Spread over a third of the mascarpone mixture and scatter with a third of the nuts and chocolate.

  3. Repeat to make two more layers, finishing with a layer of cream scattered with nuts and chocolate. Chill for at least two hours before serving. This will keep well covered in the fridge for two to three days.
