My mum, Cathy, taught me this dessert. It’s incredibly easy and very flexible. So, with apologies to all purists and Italian cooking aficionados, the only essential ingredients for me are the sponge fingers, the cream and the coffee. Everything else is up for grabs.

Ingredients
Method
UP FOR GRABS:
If you don’t like sugar, leave it out.
If you don’t want to use rum, you can substitute a few drops of rum essence for the vanilla, or not use it at all.
If you don’t want to add mascarpone, leave it out, and probably the egg yolks as well.
If you don’t want to add ground almonds, that’s okay too.
If you don’t want to use shaved chocolate, try lightly browned slivered almonds or crumbled Italian amaretti.
If you love chocolate, you could sprinkle it between each layer too.
If you love chocolate and amaretti, go ahead and use both!
