For 8 portions

Ingredients

400 g cocoa cookies
130 g melted butter
250 ml whipping cream (min. 30 %)
70 g powdered sugar
250 g mascarpone
15 g instant cappuccino or instant coffee
50 ml warm water

Preparation procedure

Preparation of the biscuit base: Blitz the cocoa cookies into a fine powder. Mix them with the melted butter to create a compact mass. Prepare a cake pan (20 cm), line it with baking paper, and press 2/3 of the biscuit mixture evenly onto the bottom and partially up the sides of the pan.
Cream filling: Pour the cream into a bowl and whip it until stiff. Add the powdered sugar and mascarpone and gently fold them into the cream.
Preparing the coffee: Dissolve the instant cappuccino or coffee in the warm water. Add the coffee mixture to the cream and briefly whisk again to create a smooth, airy filling with a delicate coffee flavor.
Assembling the dessert: Layer the cream onto the prepared biscuit base and smooth the surface nicely. Sprinkle the remaining biscuit mixture over the top of the cake.
Chilling: Place the dessert in the refrigerator for at least 4 hours, ideally overnight, so it firms up nicely and the flavors meld.
Serving: After chilling, carefully remove the sides of the pan, cut the dessert, and serve, for example, with a cup of good coffee.
