Serves 6
About 20 ladyfinger biscuits / cakes
A twist on the classic Italian dessert that is simple to assemble. Rich and creamy, this is a fabulous indulgent treat for entertaining.
Ingredients:
Coffee mixture
- 200ml strong coffee, cooled
- 2 tbsp sweet Marsala Wine (optional)
Filling
- 700g thick coconut yoghurt
- 2-3 tbsp icing sugar or maple syrup (to taste)
- 1⁄2 tsp vanilla extract
- 1 tbsp sweet Marsala wine (optional)
Topping
- 1 tbsp cocoa powder
- 30g dark chocolate, grated
Method
- Mix the cold coffee with the Marsala (if using) and pour into a shallow dish. Dip each ladyfinger biscuit briefly in the coffee mixture. Arrange a layer of coffee-dipped ladyfingers at the bottom of a rectangular dish.
- Drizzle a small amount of coffee on top, but not too much – you don’t want the ladyfingers to disintegrate completely after resting.
- Mix together the coconut yoghurt, icing sugar or maple syrup, vanilla extract and Marsala (if using).
- Spread half of the coconut mixture over the ladyfingers and repeat the layering of ladyfingers and coconut mixture.
- Dust the top with cocoa powder and grated chocolate and chill before serving, ideally for 1 hour.
