The perfect combination of creaminess with the strong flavour of coffee, this dessert is great to serve a big group or make individual portions. Its generously sprinkle with shaved chocolate for the ultimate decadence.
The Italian that came up with this combination of Mascapone cheese and coffee was a genius. Tiramisu is one of my favorite desserts, not just to eat but it's also perfect to make a family style bowl that's perfect for a large gathering but is still elegant. This is my version of Tiramisu and I love to lighten it up with the addition of whipped cream.
