- Pour the finished mass into a split mold and send it to the oven preheated to 160 ° C for 60 minutes.
- We cool the finished biscuit, wrap it in film and send it to the freezer for 20-30 minutes.
Cooking cream
- Pour 70 ml of coffee into 10 g of gelatin powder and let it swell.
- In a refractory pan, mix 500 ml of milk and 60 g of sugar. Bring everything to a boil.

Making a cake
- Cut the chilled biscuit into 3 identical cake layers.
- We put the 1st cake on a plate, set a removable ring around it and put 1/3 of the finished cream on the biscuit.
- Put the 2nd cake on top and fill it with cream as well.
- Do the same with the remaining biscuit. Put the cake in the refrigerator for 4 hours.
- Melt 50 g of dark chocolate in a water bath and transfer it to a pastry bag.
