This rich luxurious pudding is perfect for a dinner party. It needs to be made in advance so that it can firm up for slicing. The first time I tasted this it was made with cream which is very rich. I now use yoghurt instead but you may prefer to use 150ml whipped double cream.

How much is one and a half tub? Where I live I can buy the mascarpone only in plastic jars of 500gr. I really like the recipe and would like to make the cake!

Also, in the picture one can see 3 layers of biscuits; from the recipe I understood there is only one layer!
