Also known as Tuscan Trifle and Zuppa Inglese.
Tradition tiramisu is a pudding-like dessert that usually consists of sponge cake or
ladyfingers dipped in a liqueur, then layered with grated chocolate and rich custard. Tirasmisu was originally made as a loose custard, it is only in recent years that using
mascarpone cheese has come into fashion.

"We
made this as a dessert at a tea last weekend. It was a big hit and
it looked amazing! We mixed in some chopped chocolate as well as
sprinkling some on top. |
