Win an Everdure BBQ for summer

Australia is in love with Asian food. And of course we’re in love with BBQing. So with the help of our chums at Chang’s we’re putting the two together.

Primary Ingredient:
Best Suited for: BBQ dinner party

No, you don’t cook this on a barbecue. But it’s a beauty because you can make it early in the day of a BBQ dinner party and it’s done and out of the way. There is something really sexy and grown up about the eggy, coffee and alcohol flavour-wise and about the oozy creaminess of the marscapone and egg mixture.

The coffee and chocolate doesn’t work with a dessert wine but is fantastic with a Rutherglen port or Liquer Muscat.

    ml
    Cold, Strong Black Coffee
  • 50

    g

Directions

  • 1 Beat egg yolks and sifted icing sugar until the yolks turn pale yellow. Fold through the marscapone and finally the egg whites.
  • 2 Add the brandy to the coffee in a bowl. One by one, dip the sponge fingers in the coffee mixture then arrange them to cover the bottom of a serving dish. Sprinkle about a quarter of the grated chocolate evenly over then spread half the marscapone mixture, completely covering the sponge fingers.
  • 3 Repeat the dipping process and arrange another layer of sponge fingers on top. Sprinkle another quarter of the chocolate over the top then spread remaining marscapone mixture over everything.
  • 4 Just before serving, dust the top with cocoa (best done through a sieve) and sprinkle the rest of the chocolate over the top.
  • 5 Chill for at least an hour, better for three or four.
