Mix to combine, then allow to cool at room temperature.

For the Assembly

Generously soak half the sponge fingers in the coffee soak, then arrange them over the base of a 230mm x 230mm square dish.

Spread half of the white chocolate ice cream over the sponge fingers to create an even layer.

Repeat with another layer of coffee-soaked sponge fingers and ice cream.
