Step-by-step Guide
Method
- Dissolve the instant coffee in the hot water.
- Add the sugar and bring the mixture to a boil.
- Let it boil for one minute.
- Let it cool and add the whisky.
- Melt the chocolate in a bain-marie with half of the cream.
- Once the chocolate has melted, remove it from the heat.
- In a bowl, mix the other half of the cream with the yogurt.
- Add the warm chocolate and stir so that the mixture becomes completely smooth.
- Let it cool until it begins to thicken and gains a little consistency.
- Spread a first thin layer of chocolate, in the shape of a rectangle about 23 x 10 cm, on a flat plate.
- On this chocolate rectangle, place 1/3 of the ladyfingers soaked with the coffee and liquor.
- Make a second layer of chocolate and, on top, another layer with 1/3 of the ladyfingers soaked with the coffee and liquor.
- Make a third layer of chocolate and, on top, another layer with the remaining 1/3 of the soaked ladyfingers.
- To finish, cover it with a fourth layer of chocolate and, using a spatula, cover and smooth the sides of the cake.
- Leave it in the refrigerator until the next day.
- The next day, when you take it out of the refrigerator, decorate the top with cocoa powder.
