How have you made it this far in life without trying the penultimate italian desert?

And yes it's crack in cake form

Best dessert in the world.

Tiramisu.

what you wrote sounds Japanese.

 

[JulesMaximus]

It may well be the most perfect dessert ever.

It's one of my daughter's favorite desserts. I like it pretty well myself, but prefer cheesecake(pie)

I mostly agree. Though I tend to find banana pudding on equal footing, especially considering its relative ease to prepare.

Wiki:
Tiramasu is one of the most popular Italian cakes. It is made of biscuits (usually savoiardi) dipped in coffee, layered with a whipped mixture of egg yolks and mascarpone, and flavored with liquor and cocoa

Best dessert in the world is Crème brûlée.

I like cannoli personally

fixed for you

You know, I don't think I've ever had Creme Brule? If I have, it's been so long that I can't even remember.

Looks so good though.

It is, indeed, a little bowl of heaven.

There's a place I went to years ago which made a variation with Gran Marnier (a Orange liquer) - The combination of Chocolate, coffee, and fruit was damned near intoxicating.

I thought Grand Marnier was brandy.

I thought Grand Marnier was brandy.

Which explains why it was intoxicating.

Match it with a good espresso after a meal....f'n win!

It's distilled from Congnac and Bitter Orange... I've always considered it a Liquer...

Nah, it's a nasty orange liqueur. It seemed to be kind of trendy for awhile, but I don't know it's current status.

Shens!

The Tiramasu gelato that I had in Florence is the best dessert ever made!

 

[ConwayJim]

not as good a fruit cake...have you tried this?

Fruit Cake!?!?!?!


I once used one of those in the garage to keep the snow tires off the floor...


I threw it out when I realized it was staining the aluminum rims.

Seriously?! I'm one of the few that really enjoys fruitcake, but that doesn't come close to Tiramasu.

http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Tiramisu

even in Italian, it is spelled Tiramisu; as it should be, b/c pronunciation in Italian is very specific and very easy to figure out through spelling.

Otherwise, we would call it "Tir-a-maa-su."

wait, that's really weird.

:hmm:

I think tiramasu is correct, but google wants to correct me with tiramisu, and then there is the wiki page

:hmm:

probably tiramisu in italian, but English speakers pronounce it tir-a-maa-su?

another question--is tirama/isu cake, or pie, or some devilish combination of both?

Delicious stuff. There are a few cheater recipes around so that it's way easier to make and 99% as good.

But I still prefer cheesecake.
