Ingredients
- Pastry
- 175g plain flour
- 2 tablespoons icing sugar
- 1 tablespoon cocoa powder
- a pinch of salt
- 100g cold butter
- 2 tablespoons cold water
- 1 egg yolk
- Syrup
- 50ml boiling water
- 5 tablespoons instant coffee granules
- 50ml Amaretto liqueur
- Mascarpone filling
- 50g caster sugar
- 250g mascarpone
- 4 tablespoons milk
- 125ml double cream
- Topping
- cocoa and/or grated dark chocolate
Method
- To make the pastry: Combine flour, sugar, salt and cocoa. Rub in the butter, add cold water and knead the dough until smooth and all the ingredients are well combined.
- Line a tart tin with the dough. Prick the pastry in several places with a fork and leave to chill until the oven is preheated.
- Preheat oven to 180 C / Gas 4. Bake for around 15 to 20 minutes.
- Mix 5 tablespoons of instant coffee granules with 50ml boiling water. Set aside to cool. Mix in Amaretto and sprinkle the syrup over the baked crust.
- Using an electric mixer, mix the mascarpone with milk and sugar.
- Whip the cream to form stiff peaks and fold gently into the mascarpone. Spoon cream on top of the cooled pastry base; sieve cocoa (and/or grated dark chocolate) all over the top for a pretty presentation.
- Refrigerate until ready to serve.
