Method

  1. Pre- heat the oven to 180 C/ 350 F/ Gas mark 4.
  2. Line 2 –3 trays with non-stick baking parchment paper. On the paper draw templates measuring 15cm x 7 cm rectangles.
  3. Whisk all the biscuit ingredients together and using a palette knife spread the mixture so that it is thinly spread on to the rectangles.
  4. Bake for 8 minutes or until golden brown.
  5. Whilst warm, lift off the parchment paper and shape it around a rolling pin to make a tube. Squeeze the sides together so there is no gap. They will set in about 10 seconds. Repeat to make 6- 8 more.
  6. Whisk the egg yolks together with 100g sugar until very thick. Transfer to a bowl over simmering water. Add the liqueur and continue to whisk until it forms a thick foam. Remove from the heat and stir in the mascarpone / toffuti cream cheese.
  7. Dip the sponge fingers very briefly into hot coffee, remove and set aside.
  8. Stand the tubes up on individual plates. Put the soaked sponge fingers in the bottom of each, layer with mascarpone cheese and more sponge biscuits until they are full.
  9. To serve the stylish way: Top with 2 –3 fresh raspberries and sprigs with mint. Dust the top and plate with cocoa powder and serve immediately.
