Original Lo-Dough Bases
Method
- In one bowl, mix the mascarpone and 30g (three quarters) of the sweetener. Beat it a little to loosen the mascarpone.
- In another bowl, using an electric whisk (or a normal whisk and lots of elbow-grease!), whisk the egg whites until they have formed soft peaks.
- Gently fold the egg whites into the mascarpone, being careful not to knock out the air you just whisked into the whites.
-
Add the remaining sweetener to the coffee and add the
Lo-Dough squares in to soak. -
Arrange two serving bowls - you will use half of the coffee soaked
Lo-Dough in each bowl. First add a spoon of the creamy mix then someLo-Dough , more mix, moreLo-Dough and finish with final layer of the mascarpone mix. Build the bowls up together so they are even portions! - Dust with the cocoa, through a fine sieve and add the chocolate curls if using. Can be served straight away or chilled in the fridge.
💡 Top tip
To make chocolate curls, put the chocolate block on a board, smooth side up. With the blade facing down towards the choclate, drag the knife along the chocolate to create fine shards and curls. Alternatively - just grate some chocolate to finish.
