Made my Tiramisu today!!!!!!!
 

All I can say is that there should be a law against this stuff!!:p:D I cannot believe how good it turned out! My dh can barely keep hands out of it!

It has a very distinct flavor of Rum, and I know a lot of you will say "the more the better"! lol I think it needed a little more coffee flavor and slightly less Rum flavor. You know, an even mixture of both. I'm not complaining, though!

The dh wanted to go and get some Bailey's Irish Cream!:D

Anyone have any suggestions for when I make it again?

Heck...I don't even know what it is...:D But, it does sound yummy:)

Suggestions??? More rum :teethysmi :sidesplt:

no pics???

I was just going to ask that. I bet it's too late:p

I'm glad you got to make your tiramisu. I haven't had it in awhile. It's addicting, once you have some you have to go back for seconds (maybe even thirds)!:)

Am I the only one that inhales when I am about to take a bite of tiramisu and inhale the cocoa powder on top and almost die choking? :rolleyes:

suggestions??? Candles, lingerie? LOL!!

So glad it turned out good :) did you have to order the lady fingers?

Oh congratulations!!! It's addictive isn't it? :D

And I think your husband's quite right - you definately need Baileys - as a side glass, with lots of ice, to wash it down....!!! Oh yum!!! :D

I think maybe today might be a good time to make it again? ;) :) x

Yummy picture
 

Everyone's comments were so hysterical! :grin2: Think I might consider a couple of the suggestions! :D

I wanted to post a picture before we do more damage. It is already "aging" a little. The flavor got better overnight. I can taste more of the coffee flavor. This cake is as addictive as Cheetos!!! (That's very addictive!) You can't just eat one.:D

Mmmmm. Looks so good!! I'll have a couple of pieces, please!:)

It is hard for me not to order 2 of them rather than the meal at the restaurant! It is totally addicting! If I had a dish of Tiramisu that large, I would probably have it for breakfast, lunch and midnight snack! It looks delish!

Aww ..you have to try it the next time you are at an Italian restaurant .. Iris the best!

I did that! When I was expecting Simon....ate a whole Tiramisu :eek: Mind you, I used to eat whole cheesecakes, too :eek: I blamed it on my cravings - but in fact I was just a piggy....:D

Lila, it looks gorgeous - well done you! Just a small slice winging it's way to Chessington?!!? ;) :D Sally x

I'll bring you a slice if you cover the courier fee :teethysmi

My daddy warned me about offers like that.....:eek: :yelrotflm:eek: x

No, I didn't have to order them. They were under my nose the entire time in the bakery department of my local H.E.B. grocery!:rolleyes: I found them by accident.

Since I can't have it delivered to you, I'll just have to eat your couple of pieces of this delicious cake! Yummy, they sure were good! :D

Believe me, we have already eaten a few more pieces today. It's going quick!

I can sure see how easy it would be to eat the entire cake in a day or two.:eek:

While we were out and about today, we stopped and bought some Bailey's Irish Cream and some more Rum! :p:D

I so wish I could send you an entire cake! Next time, I'm going to grate some chocolate strips on top and decorate it a little differently. It was one of the easiest cakes I've ever made!

The question is....did he warn you off??? :teethysmi

OMG I love Myers's! I always wondered why it's spelled like that? Shouldn't it be Myers'? oh well. haha

What I wouldn't give for a serving of that right now!

Where's the recipe :droolin:

I think Myers's is right. haha If not, they made a mistake on the bottle! haha

We are still munching on it. It will be gone by tomorrow night. I'm making another one and am going to try a different variation of what to soak the lady fingers in.

I'm just seeing your reply. I'll post the recipe. Actually, it's one I found when I googled. It's a good one! OR I could bring it to the Arlington meetup! Not a good idea, though. It needs refrigeration between here and there. I'm not sure if I'll be able to make it. I would love to meet everybody and their babies.

OOOh! Yummy! I may have to try that...soon!

Ingredients

6 egg yolks
3/4 cup white sugar
2/3 cup milk
1 1/4 cups heavycream
1/2 teaspoon vanilla extract
1 pound mascarpone cheese
1/4 cup strong brewed coffee, room temperature
2 tablespoons rum
2 (3 ounce) packages ladyfinger cookies
1 tablespoon unsweetened cocoa powder


Directions

In a medium saucepan, whisk together egg yolks and sugar until well blended. Whisk in milk and cook over medium heat, stirring constantly, until mixture boils. Boil gently for 1 minute, remove from heat and allow to cool slightly. Cover tightly and chill in refrigerator 1 hour.
In a medium bowl, beat cream with vanilla until stiff peaks form. Whisk mascarpone into yolk mixture until smooth.
In a small bowl, combine coffee and rum. Split ladyfingers in half lengthwise and drizzle with coffee mixture.
Arrange half of soaked ladyfingers in bottom of a 7x11 inch dish. Spread half of mascarpone mixture over ladyfingers, then half of whipped cream over that. Repeat layers and sprinkle with cocoa. Cover and refrigerate 4 to 6 hours, until set.

Only 2 tbsp rum??? LOL :D

Yeah, but it sure didn't slow us down any. It's all gone!:D

I guess we stood more of a chance in getting tipsy on the Bailey's Irish Creme, huh? :scratchhe:laugh:

That's why I'm going to make another one this week. Needs some tweaking!

I'm going to put this in my "to make" dessert list :D

:
You won't regret it! The only thing will regret is if you don't make a double batch! ;):)
