Ingredients

  • First layer:
  • plain biscuits or tea biscuits
  • half cup liquid milk
  • 1 tablespoon sugar

Method

  1. First, start with the first layer. In a bowl, add the milk, sugar, and Nescafe and stir until dissolved, then dip the biscuits into the mixture and arrange them in a tray.
  2. Arrange two layers of biscuits on top of each other.
  3. Start with the second layer. Put all the ingredients in a saucepan over the heat except the butter, stirring constantly until the mixture heats up and becomes like custard, then add the butter and stir until it melts completely.
  4. Pour the second layer mixture over the two biscuit layers in the tray.
  5. Let it cool slightly at room temperature, then place it in the refrigerator.
  6. To prepare the third layer, put all its ingredients together in an electric mixer and whisk until you get a creamy mixture.
  7. Spread it over the second layer after it has cooled well.
  8. Sprinkle cocoa over the top and leave the tray in the refrigerator long enough for the coffee dessert to chill and set well before serving.
