3.To make the mascarpone cream, whisk cream to medium peaks and chill until needed. Place eggs and sugar in the bowl of a stand mixer with the whisk attachment and whisk until thick and pale. Gradually whisk in mascarpone until the mixture is thick and smooth. Whisk in Frangelico then, in 3 batches, fold in cream. Set aside.

Spread 2cm mascarpone cream mixture over the top of each dish. Repeat layering with remaining biscuits, coffee syrup and cream mixture to create 2 more layers, finishing with cream mixture.
