Strangely enough, I am pretty sure I have never had Tiramisu! How can that be? I am not entirely sure but I can only assume it is for the following reasons; 1) Coffee and me are certainly friends, but nothing more, and 2) I can't remember ever seeing it on a menu. I think this might be because it's more of a classic dessert that has been superseded by all these new fangled things. So thank you to Megan of My Baking Adventures for choosing this recipe.
When I think about it, what is there to be afraid of with Tiramisu? Tender cake soaked with a coffee flavoured simple syrup, billowing with luscious layers of coffee infused mascarpone and cream... I have more than once declared my love for creamy delicious desserts and this Tiramisu cake was perfect! It is incredibly dreamy and I am eagerly looking forward to devouring the rest of it after dinner. Dorie suggests a few different alcohols for the cake, but I went with Kahlua which was perfect.

Tiramisu is nothing to be afraid of, that's for sure. I am glad you two had a happy encounter!
That looks stunning Bria! Bravo, it looks so delicious and light, just like a dream tiramisu!
I've only had tiramisu a few times before and I'd never liked it. I thought Dorie's recipe was good though. Glad you had a successful first experience :)
Very beautifully presented...it looks so elegant!
