For the chocolate obsessive, this is a showstopper worth the wait. A crisp chocolate-wafer crust cradles a dense, truffle-like filling spiked with your liqueur of choice, and a warm espresso sauce poured over each slice adds a grown-up bitter edge. Rich enough that a thin wedge satisfies, it's the dessert to bring out when you want to end a dinner party on a truly decadent note.
