Notes
- Optionally reserve a little cream and beat it with a spoon of instant coffee until you achieve a Chantilly cream texture and add it before the chocolate.
- You can add a thin layer of Dulce De Leche over the first layer and will be so nice.
- Optionally you can add one or two gelatine leaves to the mix if you prefer it a firmer texture.
