Okay people, brace yourselves. I’ve got 2 words for you. Ready? Tiramisu. Coffee.
Aaaaahhh!
To say I’m excited about this recipe is truly an understatement. Tiramisu is in the top 3 of my all-time-favorite desserts. Ever! I love those fluffy lady fingers soaked in coffee then layered with sweet, creamy mascarpone cheese and dusted with cocoa powder. Oh mu-goodness!
I love tiramisu, but it’s really not deemed a breakfast food even though coffee is a huge component of this amazing dessert. I could trick myself and tell my self it’s okay and indulge in a huge piece of tiramisu with my morning cup of coffee, but then I would have guilt. And there is no way I’m going to let guilt ruin one of my favorite desserts ever.
So, I did something ingenious! If I do say so myself. I made tiramisu coffee.
TIRAMISU COFFEE!!!
Y’all, this stuff is amazing. Bold coffee, light chocolate flavor and then there’s that lightly sweet and airy cream floating throughout the coffee. As if that wasn’t enough, it’s topped with a dollop of fresh whipped cream and cocoa powder.
