CANTUCCINI & MASCRAPONE PUDDING




There is not much to say...


...that is dessert to die for...





CANTUCCINI & MASCRAPONE PUDDING


INGREDIENTS:
  • 1 egg yolk
  • 125 g mascarpone
  • 2 tsp coconut palm sugar
  • 6 cantuccini or biscotti biscuits 
  • chocolate liqueur or amaretto or any other (I used that one)

METHOD:

Soak biscuits in your chosen liqueur for about 10 minutes or until they absorb liquid. Remember to flip them. 

In the meantime, beat mascarpone with egg yolk and sugar very well using whisk until lightly fluffy. 

Make layers in your dish by crumbling biscuit, sprinkling with cinnamon and covering with cream. Make as many as you want. Sprinkle with cacao nibs and place in the fridge for about half an hour.
