Place a few pieces of dry biscuit in a cappuccino cup, pour in the coffee cream until half way up (picture 4) and place another layer of dry biscuits on top.

Take the light milk chocolate cream, add the whipped cream (picture 5) and fill up the cappuccino cup (picture 6). Leave to cool. Just before serving, decorate with frothy whipped cream and sprinkle with bitter cocoa powder.

Tips

  • Use the microwave to optimise times.

    The microwave is very useful even for home pastry baking, both to speed the processes up (more than one cream can be cooked at the same time) and to avoid burning chocolate or other ingredients.
