- 10g gluten free dark chocolate

For the cookies:

- 35g butter, softened
- 1 free range egg
- 1 tsp vanilla extract
- 75g gluten free flour
- 20g gluten free milk chocolate, cut into chips

Method
- STEP 1Heat oven to 180C (fan). Line a baking sheet with baking parchemnt. Mix the sugars and butter together with an electric whisk, then add the egg, vanilla, flour and the melted milk chocolate and mix together. Stir in the white and plain choc chips, then use an icecream scoop or a round tablespoon (measuring spoon) to scoop out balls of cookie dough and drop them straight onto the trays.
- STEP 2Bake for 8-10 mins until pale golden and still soft to touch - they will firm up as they cool. Carefully transfer to a wire rack as soon as they can be lifted up. When cool, crumble them into chunks.
- STEP 3Meanwhile, mix the coffee with the brandy and rum. Roughly grate the dark chocolate. Whisk the egg yolks with the sugar until the mixture has reached the ribbon stage and is light and fluffy, then whisk in the mascarpone, a bit at a time.
- STEP 4Whisk the egg whites until stiff peaks form and fold gently into the egg-yolk mixture.
- STEP 5Line the base of serving dish(es) with half of the crumbled cookies, then pour over half of the coffee mixture.
- STEP 6Spread half the mascarpone mixture gently over the cookies.
- STEP 7Repeat step 5, & 6. Refridgerate for at least 1 hour or until ready to serve. WARNING; as this dish contains raw egg it is unsuitable for pregnant women, and must not be eaten any longer than a day after it was made.
