Ingredients




75 grams butter
100 grams amaretti biscuits
275 grams tubs mascarpone
4 tablespoons strong black coffee
50 grams caster sugar
225 grams plain chocolate
225 grams greekstyle plain yoghurt
2 tablespoons icing sugar

Preparation

1 Put the butter and the broken chocolate into separate basins and stand them on the aga to melt. 2 Base line an 200mm loose bottomed deep cake tin. 3 It will need to be at least50mm deep. Crush the biscuits and mix in with the melted butter. 4 Press the mixture onto the base of the prepared tin and cool in the fridge while preparing the filling. 5 Beat together one and a half tubs of mascarpone the caster sugar and the coffee. 6 Beat in the melted chocolate and gently fold in the yoghurt. 7 Pour over the crumb base level the top and chill for several hours until firm. 8 Beat together the remaining mascarpone and the sieved icing sugar. 9 Spread over the top of the torta. 10 Remove from the tin and serve. 11 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. 12 Serves 8

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!
