Tiramisu
Who doesn’t love to order this dessert from a fancy restaurant? The Italian that came up with this combination of Marscapone cheese and coffee was a genius. Tiramisu is one of my favourite desserts, not just to eat but it’s also perfect to make a family style bowl that’s perfect for a large gathering. Also, it is very elegant. This is not authentic, but my version of Tiramisu, and I love to lighten it up with the addition of whipped cream.
