    Tiramisu

    Media_httpwwwjoyofthe_ucohp
    Apparently I'm on a dessert kick. And all about those from David Rocco. I tried making tiramisu in a former life... too.much.alcohol. So, I tried this version. Bingo!  No whipped cream, and oh lawd... it was GOOD.  And easy. The only thing I changed is to reduce the Vermouth to about 3 tablespoons.  Other than that, by the book. Also, use the "Savoiardi" ladyfingers the recipe calls for. Why? They are bigger. (If you're in the Northwest, look for them in Whole Foods - DO NOT get the generic ones. Trust me.) Lastly, I used Starbucks VIA Decaf Italian Roast instant coffee. Chill, it's delish. ;)

    Here's the recipe I like: Tiramisu by David Rocco

    *Tip: I used WAY less alchol, about 2-3 tablespoons, it tasted just fabulous either way. The amount he called for was just a bit to strong for me.
