Bánh Kem vị Cafe (Vietnamese Coffee Tiramisu)

If you love Vietnamese Coffee, you'll love this Vietnamese Coffee Tiramisu. It's my favorite type of cake. The delicate lady's fingers are drenched in coffee that contrasts with the semi-sweetened custard that is offset by the whipped mascarpone and chocolate shavings. Upon the first bite, it never fails to satisfy my cravings, regardless of my mood.
