black coffee Bavarian Cream with coffee 2 leaves gelatine 50cl
milk 70 g broken coffee beans 4 egg yolks 60g castor sugar 250 g

Recipe preparation
Prepare the delicate coffee biscuits. Pre-heat the oven to
180º C. Mix half of the sugar, the ground almonds, the ground
coffee and the flour. Beat the egg whites until stiff, while

a baking tray covered in butter-paper. Bake in the oven for 12
minutes. Prepare the Bavarian cream. Soak the gelatine leaves and
drain them. Bring the milk and broken coffee beans to the boil,
and leave to steep. Beat the egg yolks with the sugar until the
mixture whitens, and pour in the hot milk. Heat while stirring
with a whisk, without allowing to boil. Remove from the heat, and
add the gelatine leaves. When the mixture has cooled, add the
whipped cream. Refrigerate in order to allow the mixture to
harden. Assemble the macaroons. Using the plates on which the
macaroons are to be served, place one macaroon biscuit, add a
tablespoonful of Bavarian cream, soak the remaining biscuits in
the cold coffee and place them on the Bavarian cream. Garnish
with icing sugar and chocolate flakes. Serve with a chocolate
sauce flavoured with coffee.
