ItalianTiramisu
I just love this Italian Tiramisu recipe. It is one of my favorite desserts. It’s not something that you would make often so when you have the chance to taste it, it’s special. I have to be honest, it is fiddly to make, but well worth it. Just assemble the ingredients to start off with and it doesn’t seem as difficult. It can be made a couple of days ahead and stored in the refrigerator. This is handy if you are busy already doing preparations for another dish. You will also have to shop to get some of the ingredients, I know I don’t usually have Mascarpone lying around. However if you enjoy making this, you may like to try making your own Mascarpone one day. Enjoy!
