Big, soft, and comforting, Denver's Donuts are the perfect treat evoking the gentle giant Denver from Money Heist.

Beneath the crispy crust lies a rich, intensely lemon curd filling that is equally refreshing to eat and awakens the senses. Each bite delivers a satisfying jolt of sunshiney flavor to brighten even the dreariest of days inside the Bank of Spain. Like Lisbon, the lemon bars demand attention and leave an impression with their vivacious zest. Though small in stature, Lisbon proves herself to be a formidable force, and these lemon bars showcase that big things can come in unassuming packages.

5. Dalí Mask Brownies

Rich, fudgy brownies are adorned with melting white chocolate masks resembling the iconic disguises worn by the robbers during their biggest heists. Bite into one of these mysterious brownie squares and you'll uncover a surprise filling; could it be crème fraiche, pastry cream, or even melted caramel? The masks slowly slide off the warm brownies as they are enjoyed, just as the robbers would remove their coverings after successfully pulling off another high-stakes job.

Coffee-soaked lady finger biscuits form the base of layers of smooth mascarpone cream infused with hints of brandy and cocoa. This classic Italian dessert is given a Money Heist twist fitting of its namesake—the ingenious mastermind behind the ambitious bank heists.

The light yet rich mascarpone marries the strong coffee for the perfect balance, just as the Professor calibrates each detail of his schemes. Every mouthwatering mouthful is a reminder of the Professor's brilliance in orchestrating such a sophisticated operation. This tiramisu pays homage to the criminal genius who plays chess while the police play checkers.
