How can I make this chocolate thingy set?

Hi

I've made this chocolate thingy I saw on cooking by numbers and it's really runny and I don't know why! The ingredients I used were:

4 eggs
200g chocolate (melted)
5 tbsp coffee

I seperated the eggs, whisked the whites and folded them into the chocolate and egg yolks. I've made this before and last time it was thicker and it set (I put it on a biscuit base) It's been in the fridge for an hour now and it's not setting at all!

I was going to put a layer of this on my biscuit base then put a layer of cheesecake on top but I don't think this is going to work!! :rotfl:

Do you think if I whisked some double cream and then added that it would be ok? Would that make it thicker?

Thanks in advance

I would expect this to be like tiramisu/dolce di mascarpone and take longer than an hour to set. I usually leave it overnight. If it has set in an hour for you before, check your fridge temperature.

Thanks, i've just added some cream and i'll leave it overnight. I've just made a cheesecake with the other stuff.
