Choose 4 attractive glasses or serving dishes.  Dip the sponge fingers into the coffee one at a time, letting them soak for 10-20 seconds.  Arrange them in the glasses as you go, alternating them with the quark mixture, starting with the biscuits and ending with the quark mixture.

 

Chill for at least 30 mins then serve, sprinkled with cocoa powder.

TIRAMISU

Serves 4

Just under 4 Syns per serving

2 tsp. coffee powder, preferably Espresso (maybe, add another tsp. if the coffee blend isn't strong)
1 tbsp. Tia Maria or equivalent - 1 Syn (based on 25ml being 3.5 Syns)
3 level tbsp. maple syrup - 6 Syns
250g Quark
Half tsp. vanilla extract
100g FF vanilla yoghurt
8 trifle sponge fingers - 8 Syns

Stir the coffee powder/granules into 50ml boiling water. Cool.
When cooled, stir in the Tia Maria and 1 tbsp. of the maple syrup.
In a bowl, beat the Quark, vanilla extract and remaining maple syrup until smooth.
Stir in the yoghurt.
Break the sponge fingers in half. Dip 2 pieces quickly into the coffee mixture and put into a shallow glass dish or a small glass.
Repeat with the other 3 dishes. Spoon over some of the Quark mixture, then repeat with the other sponge fingers and remaining Quark mixture.
Chill in the fridge for at least an hour.

Depending on how many Syns I have to spare, I sometimes up the amount of sponge fingers and sprinkle the top with some Synned cocoa powder or a little grated chocolate. One square of chocolate, grated, goes a long way and definitely adds to the taste.
