Tiramisu!


Ahhh!!! As mentioned in a previous post, this is the Tiramisu I made for Ben and Rika's house warming a few weeks ago. This tiramisu has, I must say cleared almost my poor memories of my previous attempts at this decadent dessert! I used Tia Maria and Rum, and man this is such a heavenly combination!

I remember my friend Cheryl once trying to calm me down about not following a recipe totally, she said that things might actually turn out better and we get pleasantly surprised! So true! I was walking in Coles on a Thurs night and wanted to make a certain dessert (forgot what it was now!) then half way decided to make tiramisu instead, because I saw the sponge fingers on display - but couldnt remember the proportions of what we needed. Anyhow, didnt buy enough mascarpone cheese (meant to be about 500g) but I bought only 250g and whipping cream, so decided to instead use 250g of mascarpone and 250ml of cream (whipped separately) and wahhh la! It was great! Not as rich, a little cheaper, and overnight, this dessert tastes even better... no joke! :)

hey elizabeth! I hope the tiramisu was well received this time! :) looks yummy...
remember the time you made chocolate cake but forgot some essential ingredient like eggs or flour or something, but I thought it turned out better because it was so moist and chocolatey? I would delete that ingredient from the recipe entirely!

anyway happy cooking and hope to talk soon. I might call you tonight :)
