INGREDIENTS

2 tspn (2 tspn) gelatine powder
⅓ cup (⅓ cup) water hot
3 teaspoon (3 teaspoon) drinking chocolate powder
4 teaspoon (4 teaspoon) instant coffee granules
250 g (1 cups) cream cheese
⅔ cup (⅔ cup) sugar
400 ml (1 ⅔ cups) heavy cream
12 (12) digestive biscuits chocolate coated
½ tablespoon (½ tablespoon) cocoa powder

INSTRUCTIONS

In a heat-proof jug placed in a hot water bath, combine hot water, instant coffee, chocolate powder, and gelatine. Stir well to ensure the gelatine is fully dissolved. Keep the jug in the hot water bath to prevent the gelatine from setting.
In a separate bowl, blend the cream cheese and sugar with a hand mixer until smooth.
Pour all the cream into the cream cheese mixture. While mixing, gradually add the dissolved coffee/gelatine mixture. Continue to blend until the mixture is well combined and thickens. Periodically stop to scrape the sides of the bowl.
Cut or break the digestive biscuits into chunks.
Fill a piping bag with the mousse mixture.
Begin by piping a layer of mousse into the base of your dessert glasses. Follow with a layer of digestive biscuit pieces.
Repeat the layering process, finishing with a mousse layer.
Dust the final layer lightly with cocoa powder. Refrigerate for at least two hours before serving.
These verrines can be prepared up to two days in advance. Keep refrigerated and covered until ready to serve. Dust with cocoa powder just before serving.

NOTES

Ensure your gelatine mixture remains liquid until you're ready to use it; the warm water bath is crucial for this.

For a smoother mousse, let the cream cheese reach room temperature before blending.

For an extra touch of elegance, garnish with chocolate shavings or coffee beans before serving.

The layers can be customized in thickness to suit personal preferences or to create different visual effects.

Serve in clear glasses to showcase the beautiful layers of your dessert.
