 <\/p>\n

Ingredients:<\/h4>\n

1 pack East India Co. Twelve-Spice Biscuits<\/p>\n

For the cream:<\/h4>\n

15g melted butter
\n250g Mascarpone
\n250g double cream<\/p>\n

For the spice syrup:<\/h4>\n

\u00bd cup granulated sugar
\n\u00bd cup water
\n4 star anise
\n8 cloves
\n2 tsp grated fresh ginger
\n\u00bd tsp cinnamon powder
\nMore cinnamon for dusting<\/p>\n

Method:<\/h4>\n

Put all the spices, the sugar and the water in a small pan and slowly bring to the boil, being careful that the syrup does not bubble over the edge of the pan.<\/p>\n

Simmer for a few minutes until all the sugar is dissolved and the syrup has reduced a little. Allow to cool, and strain to remove the whole spices.<\/p>\n

Crush eight biscuits from the pack, and combine them with the melted butter.<\/p>\n

Beat the mascarpone and the cream together until thickened. Pour in the syrup and stir together.<\/p>\n

Using wine, Martini or champagne glasses, build layers of biscuit crumbs and spiced cream. Finish with a light dusting of cinnamon. Serve with more biscuits.<\/p>\n
