Ingredients

How to make it

  • Wash and cut the kum kuats in thin slices, discard any seeds you may find. We put the sugar in a bowl with the kum kuats and the triple sec and let them marinate for at least 12 hours.
  • In a double boiler or in a microwave oven we melt the chocolate glaze ingredients and let it cool.
  • In a a double boiler we beat the egg yolks with a tbs of conf. sugar and a tbs of cognac. Be careful that the mixture should not boil.
  • When it looks white and creamy, we take it away from the heat and let it aside.
  • In another bowl we beat the egg whites to form a creamy marengue.
  • In another bowl we combine the cream cheese, the rest of the cognac, 3 tbs kum-kuat liquor (or other) and the remaining conf. sugar.
  • When all ingredients have combined, we fold in the other two egg mixtures.
  • Dip the savoiardi in the rum, so that they do not dissolve, and break 2 of them with your fingers in a glass.
  • Cover them with a spoon of kum kuat slices, a spoon of cheese mixture and a spoon of whipped cream.
  • Repeat once more and finish with a spoon of chocolate glaze.
  • Top up with the nuts.
  • Refrigerate for at least 12 hours before serving.
  • This dessert can be prepared a day ahead and it will be even better.
