More
- Why it works
- Coffee brings out the roasted notes and vanilla, while the liqueur adds its ripe fruit.
- Tip
- It is never baked, so it keeps its alcohol. Keep it in the fridge, use pasteurised dairy and eat it soon.
- To serve
- Neat squares, a fine dusting of cocoa and clean edges.
This recipe contains alcohol. Cooking does not remove it completely, so a dish made with liqueur should never be presented as alcohol-free.
