It’s being 1 year since I started blogging & yesterday my blog turned ONE 🙂 . It was such an awesome feeling 🙂 . I was always interested in cooking but blogging was something I never thought of till I came to Canada. Then I realized that this is one thing I love the most, its my passion & I am obsessed with cooking, clicking & sharing 🙂 And now this is a very important part of my life , I simply love it 🙂 So to celebrate this new milestone I decided to make the most delectable Italian dessert Tiramisu. One of life’s simpler pleasures had always been dessert, so I thought to give it a try and make this super smooth silky dessert.  That silky delicate cream overflowing with flavor, would offer that “Taste of Heaven”.

Tiramisu (meaning “pick me up” or “lift me up”) is a popular coffee-flavored Italian dessert. It is made of ladyfingers (Italian: Savoiardi, dipped in coffee, layered with a whipped mixture of eggs, sugar, and mascarpone cheese, flavored with cocoa. Adding rum gives this recipe an Xtra xing 🙂 and you are gonna love it. If you are not a great fan for alcohol just chuck it .This super-simple Italian dessert actually benefits from being made ahead, allowing all the lovely flavors to mingle.

It’s a super simple recipe & the only time you have to wait is when its inside the refrigerator 😉 Also for people who don’t eat egg I have an Eggless version of this Tiramisu , hope you are gonna enjoy it as much as I did 🙂

Few Preparation

Stage  2 : Preparing the coffee Concentration with rum

• Take 2 cups of boiling water and add 2 tsp of coffee powder  ( You can also use instant espresso powder ,if you have it handy at home )

Stage  5 : Arranging the Tiramisu

• Arrange the lady fingers in the bottom of the baking dish (or container similarly sized)
• Spoon half the mascarpone cream filling over the lady fingers.
• Repeat process with another layer of lady fingers and cream.
