Mix coffee with boiling water, let cool. Pour a couple of spoons of cold water into the gelatin, set aside to swell. Whisk the cream and powder, after a while adding the mascarpone, into the thick sour cream. Slowly mixing, pour in the cooled coffee solution and, if necessary, the alcohol. Warm the swollen gelatin in the microwave for 10 seconds. Combine the jelly and cream, stirring constantly. Place in refrigerator for a few hours.
Divide the cream in half and a little more for decoration. Cut the base into 3 equal thicknesses.
Place the bottom one back in the mold, spread the jam and the first cream layer. Cover with the next piece of biscuit, jam and cream again and so on to the third.Decorate the top with the leftovers and put it in the fridge overnight.
