Preparation

Pastry:

Preheat oven to 350 °F (180 °C). Line a 7 x 11-inch (18 x 28 cm) baking dish with foil, leaving 2 inches (5 cm) overhang at each end.

Blend flour with cocoa, salt and sugar in a small bowl. Beat Cream cheese and butter until smooth. Add egg and mix on low until combined. Add flour mixture and mix until combined and crumbly. Shape into a ball and knead lightly until smooth. Press evenly into prepared dish. Bake for 15 to 20 minutes or until firm. Cool.

Truffle topping:

Whisk evaporated milk with egg yolks in a large, heavy-bottomed saucepan. Blend in sugar, cocoa, butter, coffee and salt. Bring to a boil over medium-high heat, stirring constantly. Reduce heat to medium. Simmer, stirring constantly with a wooden spoon, for about 15 minutes or until thickened enough to begin mounding on a spoon. Remove from heat and pour mixture over cooled pastry. Smooth top, if necessary.

Sprinkle with almonds. Chill until set and then slice using a sharp knife that has been dipped in hot water.
