Cocoa nibs as required
Cocoa powder as required

Spread the chocolate-coffee mousse between two Viennese sponge cakes. Use a 6 cm diameter cookie cutter for the filling. Pipe the mascarpone ice cream into the 8 cm x 3 cm Flexipan® mold, then insert the chocolate-coffee mousse and freeze. Pipe the coffee ice cream into a small half-sphere 2 cm in diameter while adding cocoa nibs, then freeze. Unmold both Flexipans®, placing the coffee half-sphere on top of the mascarpone disc. Then sift a little cocoa powder over the top and finish by piping the Italian meringue with amaretto on top.
