Easy Tiramisu
Easy TiramisuIn my house there is nothing that goes faster than a Tiramisu. After I discovered this recipe from a friend of mine, I seem to make this dessert a little more often.
This Easy Tiramisu takes no time at all to put together and even less time to eat.Living in Italy, I can’t tell you how many times and how many ways I have eaten Tiramisu.
From the classic Lady Fingers to an Italian sponge cake (which tends to be our favourite) as a gelato, in a restaurant, at friends or family gatherings. So when my daughter’s friends mother brought out her version I thought “ok, here we go again”.
But holy cow, she certainly knew what she was doing. This was one of the best Tiramisu I have ever eaten, my daughters agreed, they ate it too! And if you are looking to try some more Easy Tiramisu Recipes look no further.

So naturally what was I supposed to do but ask for the recipe? And ask I did. I wrote that recipe down on a scrap of paper, which I still have and I am telling you it was 4 sentences.
Always remember a really good Italian recipe is a little bit of this and a little bit of that. No measurements, but a lot of you will know how much when you are doing it.
As we are heading closer and closer to Christmas and yes I am loving every minute of it. Grocery stores here in Italy are full of a delicious Italian Christmas cake called Pandoro.
This cake is amazing on its own or sprinkled with some powdered sugar on top, but just imagine using it as a base for this Easy Tiramisu! So I didn’t just imagine it, I also made it.
If you’ve ever seen this cake in your local supermarket and you didn’t know what it was or what to do with it, now you do! It already resembles a star, all you have to do is cut it in 4-5 layers and fill them with this delicious, creamy Easy Tiramisu filling.
Not to worry if you can’t find this cake, you can always make this Italian sponge cake. I made it into loafs and one of the loafs I cut into stars and made them into individual servings.
Three layers will do just fine per person. If you prefer a lady finger base don’t worry this filling is absolutely perfect for those also which makes it even easier and the perfect Easy Summer Dessert Recipe. Enjoy!
