This is an elegant dessert that relies on the energizing powers of coffee and chocolate to liven up the mood. It is creamy and very rich, and therefore best served in small quantities.

This recipe was excerpted from 'Tava: Eastern European Baking and Desserts From Romania & Beyond' by Irina Georgescu. Buy the full book on Amazon.
