Ingredients

  • Mascarpone filling

  • 1/3 cup sugar
  • 1/4 cup coffee liqueur or dark rum
  • 1 tbsp instant espresso powder or instant coffee

Meanwhile, in a bowl, using the mixer on medium high speed, beat the cream until stiff peaks form when the beaters are lifted. When the yolk mixture is cooled to room temperature, add the mascarpone and vanilla. Beat until smooth and well blended. Using the rubber spatula, fold in the whipped cream.
  3. Brush your cake w/ the coffee dip, spread w/ the filling and sprinkle w/ coarsely grated chocolate.
