I don’t really like Tiramisu. <Gasp! What? Say it isn’t so!> I remember when it was all the rage in the late 80s/early 90s, and I felt almost embarrassed to admit my dislike for this popular dessert. Perhaps I should give it another Green-Eggs-and-Ham try sometime, but I’ve just never felt inclined.
THIS recipe does not remind me of traditional tiramisu much at all. Perhaps some would even be appalled at its comparison. But this lovely gluten-free treat is crazy yummy. I’ve only made it twice – once on New Year’s (a great new tradition, I think) and once on the day we celebrate the Italian branch of our family. The trick I’ve learned is not to eat it right away –Torture, I know. But, I don’t find it as good when it’s fresh, even after it’s done the necessary cooling time. Both times I almost gave up on it. But once it’s sat in the fridge for awhile….Oh, Wowza! Dangerously delicious. I highly recommend these tiramisu bars as a celebratory treat!
(I used espresso powder from King Arthur for the coffee bit.)
Update:
This is now a New Year’s tradition for us, and it is so wonderful to look forward to!!
