Tiramisu Recipe
Believe me when I tell you-this is incredible. Do not be surprised if you find yourself standing in front of the fridge in the middle of the night snacking on this-I know, because I have been there-multiple times. This does need to sit for several hours so make the day before. In fact, I think the flavor intensifies the longer it sits. This is a tiny bit technical, but so worth the time & effort. And, if you have it, sprinkle some chocolate powder on the cake when you're done to give it that finishing touch!
