A Woman's Weekly

Was doing pantry inventory recently and discovered that my Savoiardi Ladyfingers is expiring by month’s end. Exclaiming this over the kitchen counter, Hubby quips, “So quick. Make me your Tiramisu!”

Mmmkay.

Hence I present my Tiramisu.

I first asked for this recipe from the Mommy of my daughter’s friend when I had it at her little Girl’s birthday party. “Oh, I got it from this month’s Astro Magazine!” said she. “Really?? I must go rip mine out too then.” said me.

Coming home, that magazine was the first thing I dug around for and behold, I finally laid my hand on a Tiramisu recipe. Yay! I had wanted one for the longest time, but as in all things, life tends to move along and you just forget about the inquiries for the day as it passes. Read: old.

Here’s what I used (and didn’t use) for this recipe:

1. For the whipping cream, I used non-dairy Anchor Bakers Mix.
2. I used Nutriplus Eggs, you know the one with Omega 3.
3. The rum is Captain Morgan Black Label Jamaican Rum.
4. I didn’t use chocolate shavings because, well, I had one bar of chocolate but that’s to save for the triple chocolate sinful indulgence I am producing for an upcoming company dinner. *wink*
5. I forgot to use my springform pan and put all that yummy goodness in the usual casserole bowl. Would’ve looked prettier when cut had it come out of that cake pan. Next one lah.

Once again, happy is the pastry chef when her Husband comments, “Mmmm… This is good.”

Here’s that elusive tried and true recipe if you too want to impress your Love. Try it and let me know how you went.

p.s I also make a mean Orange Tiramisu that’s a hit with my ‘eaters’. That, for another post.
