Wrapped in a crisp chocolate shell, made from the finest couverture, a classic confection meaning "pick me up" or "cheer me up" is a coffee-flavoured Italian dessert. Originally made of savoiardi or ladyfingers dipped in coffee, layered with a whipped mixture of eggs known as a sabayon, with sugar, and mascarpone cheese, flavoured with cocoa.
