Ingredients
200g Cadbury Bournville chocolate
75g margarine
75g castor sugar
3 eggs, separated
50g ground almonds
25g plain flour
10ml (2 tsps) dry instant coffee
60ml (3 Tbs) Tia Maria liqueur or Coffee liqueur
For the custard topping
1 egg
60ml (3 Tbs) corn flour
50g castor sugar
400ml milk
10ml (2 tsps) gelatin
200g cream cheese
284ml double cream
5ml (1 tsp) vanilla essence

Method
Melt 75g of chocolate with the margarine. Stir in the sugar, egg
yolks, nuts and flour; beat until smooth.
Fold in stiffly whisked egg whites.
Turn mixture into the tin, bake at 180°C for 40 minutes until cooked
through.
Dissolve coffee in 2 tablespoons of hot water, add liqueur and soak
the
base; cool.
Remove from tin, peel off paper then return to the clean tin.
Make custard with the egg, corn flour, sugar and milk, heating
without
boiling. Stir in gelatin whilst hot.
Keep covered in a bowl whilst cooling.
When cold, whisk in cream cheese and the cream, continuing to whisk
until quite thick and deliciously creamy.
Halve mixture; add 75g of melted chocolate to one amount and essence
to the other.
Place spoonfuls of alternate coloured custards in the tin then swirl
through.
Smooth the top, cover with coarsely grated chocolate. Leave in the
fridge to set.
