Ingredients
Scale
Base
- 200 g sponge/lady fingers
- 100 g unsalted butter, melted
- 1 tsp espresso powder or instant coffee
Ganache
- 250 g dark chocolate
- 300 ml double cream
- 1 tsp espresso powder or instant coffee
- 1 tsp vanilla extract
- 100 ml coffee liqueur
Topping
- 250 g full fat mascarpone
- 150 ml double cream
- 50 g icing sugar
- 1 tsp vanilla extract
- 10 g cocoa powder
Instructions
- Prepare the base: Blitz the sponge fingers into a fine crumb and mix through 1 teaspoon of espresso powder or instant coffee. Pour in the melted unsalted butter and combine thoroughly to create a wet crumb mixture. Press the mixture firmly into the base and up the sides of a loose-bottomed 9-inch tart tin to form an even crust.
- Make the ganache: Place dark chocolate, double cream, 1 teaspoon of espresso powder, and vanilla extract into a heatproof bowl. Heat in the microwave in short bursts, stirring well between each burst until the mixture is smooth and fully melted. Alternatively, set the bowl over a pan of simmering water and stir continuously until smooth. Stir in the coffee liqueur until fully incorporated.
- Set the ganache: Pour the prepared ganache mixture over the biscuit base in the tart tin. Smooth the surface and refrigerate the tart for 1 to 2 hours to allow the ganache to set firmly.
- Prepare the topping: Whip the mascarpone, double cream, icing sugar, and vanilla extract together until smooth and slightly thickened but still spreadable.
- Apply the topping: Once the ganache has set, spread the mascarpone cream mixture evenly over the top of the tart. Finally, dust with cocoa powder to garnish just before serving.
Notes
- For the best flavor, use high-quality dark chocolate with at least 70% cocoa content.
- If you prefer a non-alcoholic version, substitute the coffee liqueur with strong brewed coffee or espresso.
- Ensure the ganache is completely set before adding the mascarpone topping to prevent mixing and to maintain distinct layers.
- The tart should be kept refrigerated and served chilled for optimal texture and taste.
- Use a loose-bottomed tart tin for easy removal and clean presentation.
