Gold-Draped Chocolate Dome – A visually stunning centerpiece. A shimmering chocolate shell, dusted in cocoa powder, is theatrically cracked open tableside to reveal velvety pistachio crema and espresso mousse on top of a chocolate cake round is a perfect contrast to the indulgent mocha tones. Served on top of a Frangelico Syrup.
