This Cappuccino Dessert is typically served in a small glass or cup, similar to the traditional cappuccino coffee drink, and is often topped with whipped cream or cocoa powder for an extra touch of decadence.
To make Cappuccino Dessert, a base of creamy custard is prepared using egg yolks, sugar, and milk. This custard is then flavored with strong espresso coffee and melted dark chocolate, giving it a bold and intense flavor. The mixture is then chilled and set in the refrigerator until it becomes firm and creamy.
