Instructions:
- Prepare Custard: In a small saucepan, combine custard powder and sugar.
- Mix Custard: Whisk in 1/4 cup of milk until a smooth paste forms.
- Heat Custard: Stir in the remaining milk and heat over low heat until the custard boils and thickens.
- Cool Custard: Once thickened, remove from heat, cover the surface of the custard with plastic wrap, and set aside to cool.
- Whip Cream: In a separate bowl, whip together cream and vanilla essence until soft peaks form.
- Combine Custard and Cream: Gently fold the whipped cream into the cooled custard until well combined.
- Prepare Coffee Mixture: Dissolve instant coffee in boiling water and stir in the coffee liqueur. Allow it to cool.
- Assemble Parfait: Cut the sponge cake into bite-sized cubes. Divide half of the sponge cake among 4 parfait glasses.
- Layer Ingredients: Drizzle half of the coffee mixture over the sponge cake in each glass. Top with half of the custard mixture and sprinkle with half of the chocolate curls.
- Repeat Layers: Repeat the layers once more, starting with the remaining sponge cake cubes, followed by the coffee mixture, custard, and chocolate curls.
