Serves Six
150ml Strong espresso coffee
40g Caster sugar
40ml Dark rum
½ cup Whipped cream
400g Bouton d'Or mascarpone
60g Icing sugar, sifted first
3 Free range eggs, room temperature
80g Caster sugar
60ml Frangelico liqueur
1 packet Savoiardi biscuits (sponge fingers)
100g Toasted hazelnuts, skins removed &
smashed
¼ cup Dutch cocoa powder, to dust the top
Method
In a small bowl, whisk the coffee, caster sugar and rum together,
cover and keep at room temperature until required.
In a mixing bowl, fold the cream and mascarpone together, then
fold in the icing sugar.
Over a saucepan of simmering water, in a mixing bowl, whisk the
eggs, second amount of caster sugar and liqueur until the mixture
is thick and ribbony (sabayon)
Continue to beat for 7 minutes until it cools enough to take the
cream mixture.
Combine and fold the cream mixture into the sabayon. Cover
and refrigerate.
In a non-stick loaf pan, cut the Savoiardi biscuits to fit the
pan. Dip in the coffee syrup and place one half on the
bottom. Place one half of the sabayon cream over the top, a
scattering of hazelnuts and a drizzle of coffee syrup.
Place in the remaining Savoiardi biscuits and repeat with a layer
of sabayon cream, hazelnuts and coffee syrup.
