Deep Dish Tiramisu

Normally, I am not a fan of coffee flavored desserts. I even despise coffee ice cream! However, Tiramisu I love. And coffee for drinking? Oh yes, sign me up. Two cups every morning is a must. Are you a coffee drinker?

It is amazing how many different versions of tiramisu appear in restaurants. Sometimes it’s a slice. Sometimes it looks like a trifle. Sometimes it has tons of cream. Sometimes not enough cream. I’d say it can be a finicky dessert to order when out and may not be exactly what you had hoped for each time. But, making it at home will solve this problem!

On a side note, I do recommend trying the tiramisu cheesecake factory slice! It is Amazing!!!

This recipe is basically perfect. A coffee flavor that is not too strong and lots of delicious cream made of course, with mascarpone cheese. I used Schar gluten free lady fingers but you can use regular if you’re not gluten free! Be sure to prepare this a day in advance. The flavors need to marry overnight in the fridge while the lady fingers need to soften.

Don’t you just want to snatch a taste of that tiramisu cream?
