    Classic Tiramisu

    Published: Dec 31, 2015 by Kristin 4 Comments

    One of my hubby’s favorite desserts has always been tiramisu. Anytime we go out to a restaurant that has it on their menu, he always orders it for us to split. Because of this, I have made several types of tiramisu themed treats such as brownies, trifles, etc. However, we had never made an actual tiramisu on our own.

    Last weekend, he decided it was time and ran up to the store for all the ingredients. He had it ready for the fridge in no time and that evening, when we finally cut a piece to try, it was amazing! Definitely one of those desserts we will be making again…..and soon!!

    The next evening it was even better, since it had had more time to soak up the coffee and soften up. If you love tiramisu, definitely try this recipe! Authentic, simple, and flavorful….you’ll love it!!
