Method:

1. Break up the sponges and place in a shallow, round dish. Add the coffee and leave to soak.

2. Make up the egg custard or crème caramel with the milk according to the packet directions and leave to cool slightly.

3. Stir in the brandy or liqueur. Gently pour over the sponge, leave until cold, then chill until set.

4. Spread the whipped cream over and dust with drinking chocolate before serving.

Note: if you use a crème caramel mix, reserve the sachet of caramel. Drizzle over sliced bananas and fromage frais or plain yoghurt for another dessert.
