Beat the cream fresh and add it to mixture. Make homogeneous the mixture. Soak quickly one Pavesino at time in coffee and build alternating layers with Pavesini and cream. You can put them in goblets or in a pie pan. Before serving, garnish the cake with cocoa, powdered sugar and, if you want, chocolate chips.

The pastry Chef often uses sugar with water cooked to 120 degrees. It helps to pasteurize the egg yolks and make soft the mixture.
