• 15 ladyfinger biscuits
• 1 slice of 10" chocolate sponge cake

Coffee syrup :

• 1 tbsp sugar
• 1 cup boiled water
• 2 tbsps Kahlua

1. Mix mascarpone cheese & icing sugar until well blended. Add in Rum & coffee syrup.
2. Fold in whipping cream.
3. Place sponge cake into a 10-in loose base pan. Brush some coffee syrup on top.

5. Dip the ladyfinger biscuits into the coffee syrup & arrange a layer on top.
