- Preparation: 30 min
- Makes: 1 serving (194 g)
- Difficulty: Easy
- Diets: Vegetarian
- Contains: dairy, gluten, honey
Ingredients
- 50 g Graham crackers
- 50 g Dulce de leche
- 50 g Cream cheese
- 4 g Cocoa powder
- 40 g Coffee, brewed
Method
- Mix the cocoa powder into the brewed coffee so it tastes like a chocolate biscuit dunk; pour into a shallow dish.
- Beat the cream cheese and dulce de leche together until smooth and fluffy.
- Quickly dip each graham cracker (standing in for the chocolate cookies traditionally used) into the coffee mixture for 1-2 seconds per side, just enough to soften without falling apart.
- Lay a layer of the soaked crackers in the base of a small dish, then spread over a layer of the dulce de leche cream.
- Repeat the layers, finishing with a layer of the cream on top.
- Cover and chill for at least 4 hours, or overnight, until the crackers have softened to a cake-like texture, then serve cold.
