Serves: 12

Prep time: 15 mins

Ingredients:

500g Philadelphia cream cheese

5 egg, separated

80g sugar

½ tsp vanilla extract

250ml coffee

1 pack of sponge fingers

Cocoa powder

Method:

Beat the egg yolks with the sugar, until frothy. Add the vanilla extract and the cream cheese and keep beating.

Whip the eggs whites until they form stiff peaks and fold into the cream cheese mix.

Dip a sponge biscuit in the coffee, and arrange in a medium rectangular dish. Make a full layer of soaked sponge biscuit and cover with half the cream.

Add another layer of soaked biscuit and pour the rest of the cream. Put it in the fridge overnight.

Before serving, dust with cocoa powder to taste.

Tip: This dessert can definitely be made a few days in advance, just make sure to keep it in the fridge and cover it with cling film.
