Simple Savoiardi Cake

Directions

1. 1

   Step 1

   

   Prepare a piping bag and a small sieve for cocoa.

2. 2

   Step 2

   

   Brew the coffee in any convenient way and cool it completely. From 1 tsp of coffee and 100 ml of water, you should get 100 ml of invigorating drink.

3. 3

   Step 3

   

   Place the cream cheese in a bowl. Add the powdered sugar and 2 tbsp of coconut flakes. Mix with a spoon or spatula until smooth.

   TipIf the cheese is too thick, add 1 tbsp of milk or cream.

4. 4

   Step 4

   

   Spread 6 savoiardi with the cream-coconut cream, and the remaining 6 with chocolate paste. Pair the biscuits to make 6 cakes with a cream-chocolate filling inside.

5. 5

   Step 5

   

   Pour the coffee into a wide plate with low sides. In another plate, pour the remaining coconut flakes. Dip each cake in the coffee for 1–2 seconds, then roll in the coconut flakes.

   TipDo not hold the biscuits in the coffee for long. Savoiardi quickly absorb liquid and become soggy.

   Step 6

7. 7

   Step 7
