Ingredients
  

  • 1 packet rusk
  • 2 tbsp coffee instant or espresso
  • 1/2 cup warm water
  • 200 ml heavy cream
  • 1/2 cup sugar
  • 200 g mascarpone cheese
  • Cocoa powder for dusting

Instructions
 

  • In a small bowl, mix 2 tbsp coffee with 1/2 cup warm water.
  • Stir until fully dissolved and set aside.
  • In a mixing bowl, add heavy cream and sugar. Beat until soft peaks form.
  • Add mascarpone cheese and gently fold until the mixture is smooth and well combined.
  • Quickly dip each rusk into the coffee mixture (don’t soak for too long or they’ll get too soft).
  • Arrange a layer of soaked rusks in a serving dish or individual cups.
  • Spread half of the mascarpone mixture over the layer of rusks.
  • Repeat with another layer of dipped cake rusks, followed by the remaining mascarpone mixture.
  • Dust generously with cocoa powder using a fine sieve.
  • Cover and refrigerate for at least 4 hours (or overnight) to let the flavors meld.
