Aqra din ir-riċetta bil-Malti: Trifles bil-kafè u ċ-ċikkulata
These individuals trifles that can be prepared in advance are a perfect dessert to serve directly on the table after a meal. These trifles contain the contrasting flavours of a fine and creamy chocolate and custard mixture and the stronger taste of sponge soaked in coffee and liqueur.
Serves: 2

- 40 g good quality dark chocolate
- 300 ml vanilla custard
- 80 ml espresso coffee
- 1 tbsp brandy
- 2 tbsp coffee liqueur
