This is by far the most favoured dessert recipe I have stumbled upon in my years of flipping through cheap supermarket monthly cookbooks. I've made them for many parties at home and to bring to parties. It is so very easy to make. Make them overnight for the flavours to really kick in! The alcohol and coffee make it a great party favourite! Once I read the recipe wrongly and used twice the amount of alcohol. Everyone who had some definitely were a happy bunch after their second slice! :)
1 cup brewed coffee (I use instant Moccona coffee)
1/2 cup Kahlua or Tia Maria
250g sponge fingers
500g light cream cheese (I use Philadelphia Light)
1/4 cup castor sugar
1/2 cup low fat prepared custard
1/2 cup reduced fat cream
1/2 tsp chocolate drinking powder
Beat cream cheese, sugar and 1/4 cup kahlua together until well combined. Fold in custard and cream. Set aside. Combine coffee and 1/4 cup kahlua in bowl. Dip 1/3 of sponge fingers into coffee mixture and arrange into the bottom of a dish. Spread 1/3 of cream cheese mixture on top of sponge fingers. Repeat Step 3 twice to create 3 layers of sponge topping off with the cream mixture last. Dust with chocolate powder and refridgerate overnight.
Delicious!! :)
