Please help me identify the name of this dessert?
Dear Pastry Chefs/Experts,
I was browsing 4chan, and I came across this picture of a cake (well, it looks more like pudding to me) and I've seen them in a few "pastry dramas" on TV. I had one a few years ago, but I forgot the name and it's killing me because it's on the tip of my tongue, but I just can't remember!!
Below is a picture of the dessert, it's the brown one (that's shaped like a hemisphere) next to the green pastries.

Also, if you can identify it, it'd be nice if you could also provide me with a recipe~ :D
Thanks in advance!
