There are two kinds of desserts in the world – the kind that oozes and the kind that doesn’t. And one of my favourite from the first kind is the Duomo ($5.50), a pastry by the Garibaldi Group’s Menotti Italian Cafe & Bar.

At first sight and first taste, the Duomo seems to be just a mound of mascarpone and spicy cream on a base of sugar dough. It has a dark secret though: a chocolate centre that contains coffee sauce.

As the sauce seeps out, the result is a most delicious, bittersweet mess. This is a dessert for adults.
