tiramisu
My cousin brought these little bottles of tiramisu to our Thanskgiving potluck last year, and they were so delicious I had her give me the recipe – from the Internet of course. She skipped the rum from the recipe, since we had lots of toddlers at our event, but when I finally got around to testing the recipe and included it, I could barely taste it… perhaps just adds a bit of depth to the dessert. Note that I didn’t heat my custard enough so it was a bit watery in the pictures. But it tasted delicious and I will be trying this recipe again!
