Ingredients
- 50g digestives
- 25g butter, melted
- 4 sponge fingers
- 4 tbsp coffee liqueur (such as Kahlúa or Tia Maria)
- 125g mascarpone
- 100ml double cream
- 1 tsp vanilla bean paste
- 2 tbsp caster sugar
For the whipped coffee topping
- 2 tbsp instant coffee granules
- 2 tbsp caster sugar
- 2 tbsp just-boiled water
Step by step
- Blitz the digestives to a crumb in a food processor, or put them in a food bag and crush with a rolling pin. Mix with the melted butter, stirring until all the crumbs are well coated, then divide the mixture between two glasses. Refrigerate while you make the filling.
- Put the sponge fingers in a shallow bowl and pour over the coffee liqueur, turning them over after a minute so they soak up all of the liqueur.
- Put the mascarpone, double cream, vanilla bean paste and sugar in a bowl and whisk to soft peaks.
- Divide half of the cheesecake mixture between the two glasses then add the liqueur-soaked sponge fingers. Spoon on the rest of the cheesecake mixture, and smooth over the top.
- For the whipped coffee topping, whisk the instant coffee with the sugar and boiled water for 3-4 minutes until light and fluffy. Spoon on top of the cheesecake pots and chill until ready to serve.
