ESPRESSO DRIZZLE

Step 7

Combine all ingredients in a small pan. Cook, stirring, over medium heat until sugar has dissolved. Cook, uncovered, for 5 minutes or until thickened slightly.

Step 8

Just before serving, dust top with sifted cocoa and pour over espresso drizzle.
Not suitable to freeze.

Marsala is one of Italy’s most famous fortified wines. For making desserts, choose a sweeter variety rather than a dry one.


If you have an espresso machine, make several short black coffees to make up 180ml instead of using instant coffee.
