Shavuot

I first discovered this standout dessert at a pastry show in Verona, northern Italy—and it is not your usual tiramisu. Alongside a silky cheese cream, there is a coffee-and-chocolate cream, and the ladyfingers are dipped in a warm milk-and-amaretto syrup. Built in small verrine glasses, it makes a beautiful, crowd-pleasing finish for your Shavuot table.
