For an extra layer of flavor, lightly brush the cooled pastry with coffee liqueur or rum before adding the cream filling. To ensure a perfect ganache, use high-quality bittersweet chocolate with at least 70% cacao. If the ganache becomes too thick, gently warm it in 15-second intervals in the microwave, stirring in between, until it reaches the desired consistency. Feel free to garnish the cake with fresh berries, chocolate shavings, or a dusting of cocoa powder just before serving.
