- Base and Layers:
- Plain biscuits (suitable for dipping and layering)
- Cocoa powder, for dusting
Instructions:
- Prepare the Coffee Dip:
- Dissolve the instant coffee or coffee mix in a small bowl with hot water to taste. Set aside to cool slightly.
- Make the Cream Cheese Mixture:
- In a mixing bowl, beat the cream cheese with icing sugar and vanilla extract until smooth and creamy.
- Gradually add the whipping cream, continuing to beat until the mixture is well combined and smooth.
- Assemble the Dessert:

- In a serving dish or individual serving glasses, layer the coffee-soaked biscuits at the bottom.
- Spread a layer of the cream cheese mixture over the biscuits.
- Repeat the layers until all ingredients are used up, ending with a cream cheese layer on top.
- Chill and Serve:
- Dust the top layer with cocoa powder to add a touch of elegance and extra flavor.
- Refrigerate the dessert for at least 4 hours, or overnight, which allows the flavors to meld together and the layers to set.
- Serve chilled directly from the fridge.
Additional Tips:
- For an added crunch or texture, sprinkle chopped nuts or chocolate shavings between layers.
- To enhance the coffee flavor, you can mix a small amount of coffee into the cream cheese mixture.
