Ingredients
For the meringue
- 4 large egg whites at room temperature
- 200g caster sugar
- icing sugar and cocoa powder, for dusting
For the mascarpone cream
- 200ml double cream
- 50g dark brown soft sugar
- 150g mascarpone
- 3 tbsp masala coffee liqueur or normal coffee liqueur (optional)
For the coffee ganache
- 4 tbsp instant coffee, dissolved in 50ml boiling water and left to cool slightly
- 100g dark chocolate, melted and left to cool slightly
Method
- STEP 1
First, make the ganache. Whisk the coffee and melted chocolate together until you have a smooth, glossy mixture. Leave to cool and thicken, stirring occasionally.
- STEP 2
Heat the oven to 180C/160C fan/gas 4. Line a 23 x 32cm baking tray with baking parchment. For the meringue, beat the egg whites and a pinch of salt with an electric whisk until stiffened slightly.
- STEP 3
Add 1 tbsp of the caster sugar to the egg whites, then whisk again to stiff peaks. Repeat with the rest of the sugar, a spoonful at a time, until the mixture is thick and shiny. Spread evenly into the tray, then bake for 15-20 mins, or until crisp to the touch and lightly golden in places. Leave to cool completely.
- STEP 4
For the mascarpone cream filling, put the cream, sugar, mascarpone and liqueur, if using, in a medium bowl and whisk until thickened.
- STEP 5
To assemble, sift some icing sugar over a large sheet of baking parchment, then carefully flip the cooled meringue onto it. Lift off the tin and peel away the baking parchment. With a short end facing you, score a line 2cm into the edge of the meringue. Spread the ganache evenly over the meringue, then top with the cream, smoothing it with a palette knife, then carefully roll into a roulade, starting from the scored end and using the parchment to help. Transfer to a serving plate and dust with cocoa powder.
